I used to play my song all alone, 
dreaming of becoming a melody: 
most people brought out the 
piccolo or pizzicato in me, but 
I dreamed of being a chord in 
b-minor, then a long ago friend 
wearing jeans on Muizenberg 
beach, wading in, getting wet
 
Driving around Chapman’s Peak, 
appeared on the Internet, and 
suddenly I saw my themes in 
her writing, patterns I’m trying 
to trace already explained in 
her words - what a surprise 
to discover she speaks the 
words I’m trying to think
 
It is a privilege to meet again 
and know – she understands…
