Eight days

We were only together for eight days

yet it seems like an ocean has engulfed us

The wave rolled in

and bowled me over

A part of me was found

A part that I never knew had been lost

My heart sang with the goddess

as we shared the song

The wave rolled in

and took me into itself

.... the Path is one for us

as we swim in that ocean

We are tiny droplets ....

becoming part of the ocean

Though we  will lose ourselves in that ocean

we will still be ourself in some way

You have walked ahead

and now I can follow your lead

You will continue to lead

and I will follow ....

we all will follow 

And as I follow you

I will never forget you
