My ramblings
After thousands of years
I saw her again
The same beautiful face,
the same beautiful piercing eyes,
the same pointed nose,
the same bright white teeth.
The same curly black hair.
Nothing had changed in her
I opened my arms for her
She stood still
Without any movement or reaction
Isn't she happy to see me?
She was not like that
When we separated thousands of years ago
on the bank of river Nile
She embraced me and said me goodbye
She promised to wait for me for eternity
I promised to return to her
Then we both separated
She did not see my tears
I did not see hers
Now, after wandering for thousands of years
in this expansive universe
We have run into each other
She is standing still, motionless,
Her stillness broke my heart
I moved forward and touched her
She had turned into a statue
A statue with tears in her eyes.
