I saw you where the sky meets the horizon,

A flash of unexpected perfect light.

And it colored my morning

In the beauty that is only you.

And I realized to my delight

That we were not so far away

From each other as we thought.

And now I sit as patiently as I can

Awaiting the rising of your essence

Into the middle of my sky. How I long

For your face to shine down upon me,

Sweet child of my delight, estranged,

But ever in my heart. It’s you for whom

I have been waiting. And I can barely breath

For anticipation. But take your time. Rise, rise,

Slowly, and only by your own intent.

For I have been up waiting,

Waiting when the storm clouds gathered,

And the terrors gave you fright.

Yes I have kept my vigil

Through the darkness of the night.

And finally, after all these years, it’s time.
