You

In the distance, a haunting melody sweeps through my heart, I faintly hear it in the soft breezes sifting through the ether. My ear strains to find it, the voice of a child, the breathless whispers of a lover, the purring of a cat, faint echo’s in a language unknown. Waiting for the instrument to voice the message, my soul delights in fictitious thoughts to satiate its desire to be one. What shall the sound of his voice be? How will it glide along the curve of my neck when he whispers my name in breathless passion? How will his eyes reflect me the moment he sees me return from a long journey? How will his smile find my heart at the sound of my voice, warming the center of my being? Some came and bore the stamp of time, to show me a passport of their travel here, yet their eyes did not reflect my image, their voice did not glide along the curve of my neck, and their smile did not find a genuine warmth within my heart.

Blazing words on a virtual canvas, there I recognized in the silent exchange, my conscious inner voice speaking to me through the soul of another. You.
