Photo from The Meeting

You see me because there are eyes in your soul

An eye for my kind

Because I have been hidden from all save few

Of the few and you

You hear me even when I’ve said nothing

Because what you listen to isn’t my voice

But instructions from the universe

Music inspiring you

You walk with me because you have become friend

Even while the most exciting of strangers

And I walk with you because I understand

I see you too

You tell me that I’m different

When in fact its you

And your falling heart

With the seasons that now vent

I’m saying Oremi and letting you sing

Because I see your eyes longing to

I’m still listening

Because I hear you

With you I see myself again

Feel the first

And the next

And the next

With you I see that I have fallen in love a lot

And that this is your first

I should listen

Because you are my next

So I wont hold on

Because I know you wont let go

Either way we’ll be together

Saying innasunka for a while

And perhaps, forever
