I asked
myself
the heavens
fate
where you came from
and why it was then
that you came,
why your arrival
came at that moment
uninvited
and so
inviting.
We stood
at the threshold
looking in
at what
it could be like
looked at
each other
eyes twinkling
(as they
always are)
and we
stepped away.
The threshold
is there
glowing
empty of our shadows
looming
watching us
glance
back at it
now and then
to see
if it’s still
there
And it is,
always,
comfortably
within reach
and likely
unreachable
in this life.
