in you i find the beauty
of another culture
i stumble onto that part
of myself that eventually opens
up to the rest of existence
so long it has laid dormant
through you i discover that
life is a jigsaw puzzle
and that that every culture
is actually a part of myself
buried deep in myself
waiting to be examined, savoured
thanks for coming into my life
it has taken me so long to find
that final piece to make the jigsaw whole
the beauty of how every culture
actually helps each other grow
each wave that culminates in
a glorious crescendo over my psyche
