How Did You Find a Home in Me?
How did you find a home in me So gently, without a sound? Why is it your name That echoes softly through my blood As if my heart was always yours? Why do I miss you Like the moon misses the sun Far apart, yet aching to meet? Why does your absence Wrap itself around my days Like a cold wind I can’t escape? Your face lives in every sunset And greets me with each sunrise As though the heavens conspired To keep you near. You walk through my dreams Like a lover lost in time Appearing on paths That lead nowhere Yet feel like they once led to you. You are my secret song My whispered prayer My sweetest ache And the warmth I carry Even in your silence. Nidal Sati
