Love After Love - Derek Walcott

Love After Love, By Derek Walcott  The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror, and each will smile at the other's welcome,  And say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was yourself. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you  all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf,  the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.Support the showPoems are green and Poetry is mean. -Poetry Beast Please accept my endless gratitude,I'm tickled pink,You're a gift!Thank you for your time and attention.It's a blessing you've stopped to observe and listen.ADDITIONAL INFO: @thebaldheadedpoet | Linktree
