The Connection

Your eyes spoke from among the crowd at that religious meet.

In Rillan Hill, opposite grandma’s house,

As you worshipped in the street.

And, while it was months thereafter I said, “Hi.”

Today, I can’t help but think
That at that moment, when our eyes first met,
We activated a predestined link.
Six summers passed since Buccament Bay
And the feelings are the same:
When I look to the future and think soul mate
The reverberation is your name.
