It's Time

I saw you where the sky meets the horizon,A flash of unexpected perfect light.And it colored my morningIn the beauty that is only you.And I realized to my delightThat we were not so far awayFrom each other as we thought.And now I sit as patiently as I canAwaiting the rising of your essenceInto the middle of my sky. How I longFor your face to shine down upon me,Sweet child of my delight, estranged,But ever in my heart. It’s you for whomI have been waiting. And I can barely breathFor 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 vigilThrough the darkness of the night.And finally, after all these years, it’s time.
