Every now and then
moments emerge which bring about profound newness.
Imagine when you first encounter crocuses and hyacinths,
after a long winter,
arising from the cold ground.
Imagine the way an epiphany springs into your mind,
a momentous realisation,
forever altering the course of your life.
Imagine that unconscious arrest of inspiration,
when involved in a creative project,
miraculously bringing it all together.
It is as though a secret force is at work in the world,
steering these events on.
And though this force is eternally present,
it is made more apparent
in these auspicious moments of change,
when a seismic shift is felt within.
The evening we first met, an unassuming evening of gentle conversation,
held one such moment.
Saying goodbye, I stood on a precipice of decision,
and something akin to destiny took over my body.
A deeper force carried me along
when I kissed you for the first time.
I cherish this moment, the moment my life wildly shifted,
and our evening of gentle conversation.
