MEETING FOR THE FIRST TIME

You require a stage,
a comfortable seat,
lights and music
so to entertain you with my answers.

No risk then,
when aware,
to fear being asphyxiated
by the bond of blood –
the sap of our common roots.

We require a well lighted place
where I would like to think
that the measure of ourselves
and the reason of our bond
would be revealed,

It is your noble notion
to access through discovery
and by surprise,
the bearable weight
of what you can undertake.

No blockage here,
unless you are trapped
in the need of securing
the part in you that may have been lost.
