So Sure Am I…

How sure am I
Of you, you ask.

And smile-
knowingly!

I know, I don’t
have to say it-
But I shall!
(At least, I’ll try..
just to see
if my words
find that expression:
that note, just right!)

So sure am I –

As that river that flows
knowing its destiny-
to merge with the endless ocean!

As that flower, shyly blooming
knowing that kiss
of the early morning sun, awaits!

As those stars bright
unfailingly twinkling a promise
to keep me company,
through each dark night!

As sure as day and night,
in our journey through the
infinite limitlessness of time!

As that indrawn breath
you breathe, for me!
And the tears that roll down
my cheeks,
oozing your sorrow away..!

So sure –
I’d leap into nothingness
knowing you’d be there
to gather me in your arms!

So sure, am I
only because
I am you
and you are me!

And I echo your
laughter, in my eyes!!
