The Tiny Dots
Arms outstretched
I saw the distances grow longer,
you, a blurring outline
in undulating wind
eluded my narrowing eyes..
A gale of wind blew up
sand and dust
dimming silhouette
setting the sun down...
I rose on my feet
fixing my gaze
on the thin swerving line
popping up and down the horizon
finally reduced were you
to a tiny dot..
I dropped my gaze
so not losing sight
of my tiny dot
forever ..
a thousand tiny dots
making a horizon
of longing & promise ..
some day
the tiny dots grow bigger
curling the horizon inward
a thousand undulating lines
silhouettes walk back
a thousand parted ones
meet their loved ones
a hand touches my chin
pulls my face up
is it you my tiny dot...
is it you my someone...
