Maybe

Maybe,
one day,
my words will come
unbidden 
to your mind. 
Maybe 
you will whisper them 
as a prayer against the darkness, 
or sing them 
to your sleeping child. 
Maybe,
one day,
my name will be 
the mantra that you exhale, 
or the echo that follows 
every heartbeat. 
Maybe 
you will hear my name 
in a crowded room, 
or in the absence 
after a book has closed. 
Maybe.
