Like Coming Home

"Lovers don't finally meet somewhere. They're in each other all along." ~Rumi



Entangled eons collided

     Where familiar hearts resided

          The day our eyes engaged.

               And a quickening abided:

                    I'd loved you long unsighted--

                         Like coming home assuaged.
