Anam Cara

A Friend,

Freund, Prautel, Amigo, Tomodachi

So many names for that very special person.

But hold on…

It doesn’t end there,

A friend would be an error

Long lost part of my soul.

My Anam Cara!!

Hidden in the pages of time you were,

Behind the curtain of destiny’s providence,

Ingesting your share of euphoria and melancholy

Treading undaunted.

A striking similarity we share,

Reflection of each other.

Inseparable like a shadow,

Sharing scars of our past,

Future and moments infinite.

Like an artist,

You paint a rainbow,

In a monochrome world,

Vivid and vivacious.

A sculptor of souls,

You carve away those,

Simple yet complex imperfections

Ornate and baroque.

So continue to be

The brightest star in the sky,

Your ardor limitless,

Exuberance tending to cosmic extents.

Although separated by light years,

The distance forever infinitesimal,

Long lost part of my soul

My Anam Cara!!
