Making Amends



He bowed with an open hand 
then offered me the most precious gift 
"the pen ! " 
and I fell for him 
in the hardest way 
as I sat there, like a fish on a hook,  
looking through a distorted fish bowl.

 
What kind of creature was this,  
that could see right through me
as if I wore no skin, ? 

" This was the kind of man that had guided my soul for many a lifetime 
this time around, he knew how to use kid gloves   
no matches, no flames,... just kindness and understanding
and a mild recognition, that we had been here before "
