A Puff of Air

By Olufunke Kolapo

In you I found the answers I sought
Embrace your promise of eternal love
Peace so sweet the river cowers
Happiness so deep the ocean cannot fathom


In your arms I found relief
From pain, guilt and regret
Your offer, new chances and choices
New meaning in life and its beauty


Your loving arms held too tight
Your whole entity a puff of air
You are all but the real deal
Stirring us on a journey from the truth


I realized so late your true form
Just a mere picture of should be
All you teach is the could be
All that cradle me is a puff of air
