breathless, laboured
tortured
each breath
swallowed
greedily gulping gasping
each breath
stolen
without you

your fingers
mine
sketching dreams
scribbling hopes
my fingers
yours
holding back
resistant
knowing the path ahead
littered with thorns
oblivious
knowing
the path ahead must be walked
alone at times
but never lonely
not with you by my side
evoking a belonging felt true and deep
inside
…
time
erodes
loves lives hearts
souls spirits selves …
time
mends
wounds
souls
a salve
a balm
knowing
in the end
there is always
only
stillness
silence
peace
and
calm
these interwoven veins
dna
double-helixed
microscopically
binding
me
you
us
all
through
this common
shared
truth:
‘I am because you are’*
all of us
together
as one
me
you …
… uBuntu*
* – uBuntu is an isiXhosa/isiZulu concept that espouses the “belief in a universal bond of sharing that connects all humanity”
