YOU DWELL IN MY SOUL
I’ve never met you in reality…
I’ve never shaken hands with you.
You are neither my lover, nor husband,
not cousin….I don’t know you.
However, you dwell i my soul.
Yes, our souls have recognised each other
and they’ve been taking for night hours,
days, mornings and years.
Space, cosmos waves transmit our thoughts,
our wishes….
I admire your gift from God’s altar.
I enjoy watching and reading the beauty
of your work…I bow to same of them.
They are divine…
I can only admire you silently…
However, you dwell in my soul,
Although we’ve never met….
