SUDDENLY

Without reasons,
causes,
preconceived ideas
softly you tip-toed into me
entering every corner of my heart,
you touched me,
intimately,
suddenly I knew
that we never were apart.

Sweetly,
quietly in the deep silence
something stirred,
uncoiled,
unwrapped itself from sleep,
expanded,
exploded,
burst through the shackles which enclosed my heart,
suddenly I knew,
that as one bird we two could fly.
