My Tunisian Awakening Poem by Professor Dr. Stanley Collymore

My Tunisian Awakening



By Stanley Collymore

I have just undergone the most unexpected and
exhilarating experience I could ever have
imagined or earnestly hoped for while
of all things being on holiday; too
significant for words and rightly so. I met
you! Previously a complete stranger to
me but in the ensuing hours we were
together the transition of you from
stranger to someone very special
to me wasn't just dramatic but
was also by this sensational
process significantly life-
changing as well. For
having reciprocally empathized with you
so immediately and to such an extent
in ways that strangers rarely do, I
joyously became aware on this
most incredible of Sundays -
30th January 2011 - that I
was possibly falling
in love with you.
