Once,
I met a wise old woman.
“What is your name?” I asked.
“La Luz” she smiled that all-too-familiar
All-knowing-smile.
“Tell me your name.” Her bright eyes narrowed to a command.
“Nina”
“Remember this…”
I didn’t understand what she meant until one day…
Down a blind alleyway
I followed after an unfamiliar voice.
Confusion.
It was clear
I was lost.
Feeling along in the darkness
With my hand I traced
The outline of a door
And walked out to find the old woman laughing–
“You remembered!”
With love and gratitude,
Nina
