Arrivals, aplenty

 
 

1:17am
Abu Dhabi airport lounge

Moments but arrive, aplenty
Visible at times, like the sunrise
Unannounced at times, like thunder
Shattering silent stillness in their wake
All but exactly as they meant to

People but arrive, aplenty
Familiar at times, like the moon
Unknowable at times, like a shooting star
Awakening silent desire in their aftermath
All but exactly as they meant to

Feelings but arrive, aplenty
Present at times, like a heartbeat
Emerging at times, like a whisper
Rupturing the soul in their discovery
All but exactly as they meant to

Signs but arrive, aplenty
Ageless at times, like the mountains
Startling at times, like rainbows
Renewing the world in their emergence
All but exactly as they meant to

Beauty but arrives, aplenty
Still at times, like a solitary moment
Raging at times, like an apocalypse
Destroying all the pain in its arrival
All but exactly as it meant to

I seek to love, aplenty
In a single breath at times,
In timeless eternity at times
Rebirthing an entire world in its beauty
All but exactly as you meant to
