I've seen you before...
your soul is very familiar to me
exposing itself at first contact
so unabashedly naked
igniting my fragile heart
and waking my innermost self to your reintroduction
your voice is very familiar to me
unveiling itself at first contact
so boldly masculine
soothing my deepest anxieties
and reestablishing itself in my mind’s ear
your eyes are very familiar to me
revealing themselves at first contact
so startlingly blue
reversing my sightless sight
and reviving its depthless depth in my mind’s eye
your heart is very familiar to me
laying bare itself at first contact
so preciously warm
consoling my nucleus at its core
and rekindling my spirit with its passion
your soul is very familiar to me
I’ve seen you before
across countless lifetimes
offering me innumerable lifelines
and I am altogether reassured in its infinity
