TÊTE-À-TÊTE WITH MYSELF
Oh Hey! There you are, Sangeetha! A face that I want to see first thing every morning!
Quite a journey we've trudged together demanding and overwhelming!
Who are you, you ask? I see you for the unseen scars you don't go flaunting
And the battles you've overcome oh so daunting!
That's a sacred secret we've locked in vault
Ain't for all to know, judge and find fault…
But here you're today as bright as a spring dawn
Once upon a time tongue tied but no longer as shy as a fawn
As fading eventide gives way to yawning twilight
You're a dancer, pirouetting in dark lace to match the Iris heavens
From soft-spun gossamer webs you weave mystical daydreams and wizardry,
The sunbeams of silken gold threads to conjure marvel-like tapestry!
The stars, sequins on your trailing gossamer and silk
It's a heady potion where you sail on swan-shaped puffed clouds above
An irenic space for fantasies and fairy tales of true love…
Is this your snug cocoon of twilight darkness,
In this cradle, you find immense happiness?
Shimmering and morphing in a world of magical land faraway
Do you daydream you're a songbird in a midsummer sky on a cloudless day…
You belong to the sunset and the autumn sky
Like a lone eagle you soar and fly
You hear the whispers of the waves and songs of the seas
Music of faraway realms, is it possible to hear all these?
You're the sparkle and the dazzle
The snowfall and the mizzle
After you cry your head out, grieve and settle
You double-back, strive, survive, and prove your mettle
You've broken free, unshackled your chain
In the mist you've found yourself again!
Your wings are now strong, you're ready to fly
You belong to the moonlit nights and the starry sky!
