Universe, My Friend

You’ve shown me miracles

Oh Universe, show me them again;

It’s been so long since I’ve had a taste,

My tastebuds long for your sweet love again.

It feels like long lost connection,

I wish to hold your hand again;

Show me your purest self,

I’ll keep remembering you’re always there for me, again and again.

I’ve had chaotic experiences,

But still the end of the loop has led me back to you;

I will never leave your shelter,

Because you are my biggest protector.

They say when you look for something,

You will find it;

I’ve done that by seeking your love,

And I have experienced it unconditionally from you before .

You gave me answers when I asked for them,

You blessed me in ways I never asked,

You always showed me signs when I looked for them,

You always protected me in ways I never fathomed.

My life is truly a blessing,

Because I get to realise more of myself everyday;

By believing more and having faith,

Even in the dust, I find specks of miracles.
