From The Beginning Of Time Poem by Gert Strydom

When I look at the Milky Way
it's as if from the beginning of time
I do long for you through all the ages
as if I now have you after a big struggle
as if fragments of the past
are still following us, are constantly affirming you,
as if you are coming to me after many prayers
as a carrier of love and light
and you are so startling familiar
as if I do not know you from only today
and I am afraid that something can violate this moment,
while I am caught in your sunshine laughter;
between shadow and light there is a fine line
and we are linked right there.
