Here Shall My Heart Find its Haven of Calm
Dear Friend,
I find myself thinking,
of you, me, us.
It’s a lovely, gentle thought,
leaves me with a smile.
I don’t always expect nuance from myself,
yet once in a while, it just pops out,
most often in a poem,
frequently inspired by another person,
their writing or speaking.
Someone like you.
Sometimes, when there is a strong breeze,
it blows right through the hole in me
that was formed by my own
unmet dreams and expectations.
Not so when I think of you.
As busy as I know you to be,
I’ll only take a minute,
just to tell you to a certainty
that the world I know is
better because you’re in it.
(Title taken from a line in “June Sunset”, by Sarojini Naidu)
