(To Dalene and all other great authors)
In the aftermath of our encounter
I find my existence to have shifted
to a world that youve created
when you offered me a lift along your way.
We were hampered by the awkwardness
of the newly introduced inside the opened door,
I, pass bearer to your destination, entering uncertainly
into a foreign land filled with strange faces
And then the tide carried me away enchanted,
engrossed and unable to disentangle myself
from this life parallel to my own, where I
shift status from immigrant to citizen
And with the last chapter completed, the book lies closed,
though I am yet not in the now, but live where you were then ...
