Pocketful of Starlight*
(c) Melina Magdalena
it was
exactly
as though Love
came by and
tapped me on
the shoulder
there she sat
quietly
and calmly
contemplating
me of
all people
though I’d
never seen her
before
grim
probabilities
dropped
away and
vast
possibilities
seemed
suddenly
endless
I stood in
a meadow
of stars
that sparkled
beneath my feet
horizon
too distant
to grasp so
the waiting
was all for
this moment
instantly
she became
familiar
so precious
and dear
imprinted
upon my
memory
it was time
to embrace
my future
(*from Perry Como Catch a Falling Star)

It's amazing how things change, isn't it?
Yes, Anna - I presume this comment was from you ... Change is the only constant.
Given this premise, it is also true that nothing I declared, vowed or believed is negated in the new circumstances. Nothing I said was a lie.
