People of Orphalese, Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face. But you are life and you are the veil. Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

But you are eternity and you are the mirror.

Sometimes my people will be out of reach Our distance felt through screens and scribbles, Ghosts of past memories haunt brightly.

Sometimes my people will be out of reach Our distance felt through screens and scribbles, Ghosts of past memories haunt brightly.

It helps then to gently remember Despite the fading afterglow – 'they will be back' Even the sun returns the next day.

We step in and find a space to fill. The cables lurch as I reflect on this perfect day Already missing you while you're still here. The previous hours blurred between stories, rants and laughter. A few drops of joy Pours into our river of memories. Now we are in this shared space, Watching folks prepare to leave, Knowing it's nearly our turn. For me to remain and you to go. Leave this day behind and meet again. Our conversation ended too soon. !-- #poems -- ]]> Our conversation ends Like they usually do When the doors slide open to a crowded room.

I hope, enough. In the midst of commitments, And anxious undertones Of our world falling apart.

How much love can one heart hold? I wonder with my bare feet planted on the grass, Listening to kids play and aunties chat While couples walk with linked arms.

My heart is full.
