In everyone

In every other face I meet
I feel in a way I am greeting a new part of myself
Perhaps unfamiliar
Or maybe strangely recognisable
But either way, an adventure.

In every other hand I hold
I'm holding on to myself
A reassuring grasp onto physical reality
Touch
In every hand, half of a new story
In every face a past, present and future visible

In every voice, a promise
In every eye, a tear
On every face, a shadow
In everyone, a fear.
