REVERBERATE

By Sam Yau

See the gem

through the grime.

Discover each poem—

a facet of my soul.

Witness the sparkle,

reflect it back to me,

let me face my radiance.

I am awed by

your luminosity.

I mirror it back to you.

We embrace

each other’s shadow.

We won’t be lonely again.

Time and distance freeze,

conversations and feelings

pick up where they left off.

Geography may keep us apart,

but when we are together,

it is like coming home.

As light and mirror,

we illuminate,

reflect,

inspire

each other

without end.

Where lights reverberate,

the soul sings with joy.
