(for Agere) for your casual caresses, to soothe the daily tread, and make smooth this cold, cold world for poor soul of me; for that ever-ready smile that drives me on by the hour; that look in your eyes, and for that knowing touch that sways away all my 'whys;' for Time and Space which only draw us together and for all the reasons that make us see one in the other: I'm thankful to all Nature and Chance to keep us in that moment that saw us together at once. -by Hakim H. Kassim. (May 19, 2025)
