A Letter

Sarima, Miaras, Asmira?

I can see you from the face on up-

 -beloved.  You know,

some...

Feeble part of me

once wished

I'd need to touch

To be gentle.

To hold your face

with trembling hands while

I whispered our fate.

And as I thought-

Another falls before us

Another success

Defending your courage.

An anchor and her guardian:

You allow my spoken life to be.

Together we conquer.

Forever, I wonder.

signed,

Sarima
