‘Unfamiliar yet familiar’

I lamented as many a millennia passed, the unfortunate outcome of which, was the familiar being rendered altogether unfamiliar.
This familiarity I speak of, was the familiarity of family, spiritual family, those sacred bonds that are shared beyond time and space.
Yet in my discovery of the truth, that which seemed lost, that which had vanished from view, never had been lost. It was only ever to be a temporary absence, a something very precious, momentarily misplaced.
Within my blossoming heart, there was always one that had come to mind, a being I’d always known to be my adorable little sister.
For long had I inquired over her whereabouts, long pondered upon the nature of the long separation, questioning whether our sibling ship would ever again sail the seas together.
Yet upon the winds of change, in the times of the end and the beginning, fortuitously so it was to be. For some four thousand years later, by best record, appear to me did she, in form foreign and unfamiliar, yet by virtue of her essence, clearly so, so familiar.
The little sister that had wandered so far, travelled so wide, had returned; and wouldn’t you know it, as destiny would have it be, the day prior to the annual eve that marks my present return into the fields of Terra.
As ancient wisdom, manifest in young child, all I can do is but gaze upon her in this now, take her delicate hand, mop the sweat from her brow. Oh what songs, what memorable lyrics are recorded in this loving heart of mine, as we sing songs together.
Does she remember, I can’t help but to wonder? Does she feel the truth of this return to divine right order? Does she truly feel who I am, how much I love her? I do think she can.
But as it is, we again walk together as we often had, now into this sunrise, into this dawning cosmic day.
“I’m here, walk beside me my dear little sister” I say, as she looks up at me, just feeling her way. As we sit, and as we play, I’m simply lost for words that’d never be enough to explain.
My eternal love for her endures, and together we are again, as we herald this, the brand new day.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for finding me, as I give sincere thanks to me, for finally finding you too.
