An Important Meeting With Her

by Sophia Sewell-Ba

I was afraid of being lonely
I didn’t want to be blue
I wanted to be brave
I covered up my wounds
I thought they had healed
So I could open up my heart
I didn’t want my new love
To fall victim to the past.

But what has really changed for me
I arranged to take time out 
For an important meeting
To spend quality time 
With the most important person in my life
I arranged for one week 
To acquaint myself with her once again
I was explicitly given divine instructions
Not to be disturbed by anyone! 

For a whole week
I concentrated on her solely
On her every breath 
Her every thought
I listened intently to her voice
Without any interruption
I nourished her
I pampered her
I massaged her feet
I loved her 
I danced for her
I wrote poetry about her life
I made a date with myself
And found inner peace.
