In a sudden gaze
I found you
standing on your own convictions
for once
and finally.
you were humming your own tune
a tale as young
and new
as the leaf you just turned.
You were dancing
to your own beat
not a marching paso
but a fluid contemporary
embracing shades of emotion
both light and dark
accepting the existence of them
and I wept at the sight of you.
The most beautiful second chances
truly
are those we gift ourselves.
