Flights
She flew into my life
Like a glorious gathering of doves,
A shimmering of near-pure whiteness,
Hovering, like a halo...
Flew into my eyes,
Just like that,
And transmuted their emptiness to delight.
Then, after twenty years elapsed,
She flew out of my life
Like a ghostly spiraling of smoke,
A drifting of near-invisible grayness,
Disappearing in a puff...
Flew out of my eyes,
Just like that,
And transformed their delight to emptiness.
