Seeing You

Let me catch sight of you in this 
life and in others, where your face 
hovers in the spring, summer, 
autumn and winter, when your black 
eyes twinkle along the curved 
words I have found again in this life.

Let me catch sight of you in the 
morning, noon, afternoon and evening, 
for I shall hear your laughter along 
the sidewalks and around the morning 
markets, feel your hair’s fragrance 
once, and never stray away from you again.   

Let me see you appear calmly and 
brightly in every thought, in every short 
breath, in every long breath, and in every 
pulse of my heart – intrinsically, calmly and brightly.
