Someone I Don't Know

A spell within repeating.
Unseated in my grief.
Shadows lift from me.
Unwind I do from needing.

I feel a sadness ending.
I leave behind despair.
Someone says hello.
Someone I don't know.

Then I am touched by love.
It feels as if I knew it.
It was familiar then.
Like it did...
When I hid my heart!

A spell within repeating.
Unseated in my grief.
Shadows lift from me.
Unwind I do from needing.

I feel a sadness ending.
I leave behind despair.
Someone says hello.
Someone I don't know...
But knew!
