Finally, I heard you speak;
as if a thousand years
of silence filled with
endless moments of self doubt
and dilemma broke
I woke up this morning
with a discomfort in my body
but with immeasurable
waves of happiness-like
feeling within me; it seemed
nothing or no one can break
the spell: the words I heard
from you in a voice that
spoke with affection and trust,
which seemed to build a wall
around me, within which
I can only prosper
and grow unhindered
