and it too melts away
my wings unfold ... delicate, fragile
but they are just wings
without a destination
pointlessly existing - until now
you breathe life into this body
you pull me out of my cocoon
you show me my home - my destination
my place to land
when I stop spinning
so that I can rest my wings
in your heart
in your love
in your life
when we stored ourself away
our treasures got boxed up
too precious to leave behind
where did all the years go?
vague memories now, yet
every moment cut fresh
like flowers from the garden
we don't need the memories
packed - saved - cherished
today is enough and tomorrow
to fill the rooms of our heart
benches are for waiting
I've waited all my life, sitting here or there
often with my mind looking
word watching, the way others people-watch
the subtle roar of life
filters through my space
an orchestra of sounds
as people live and breathe
what moment is the most important?
this one? or this?
I wait to catch the first glimpse of you-
will that be it?
when I see you striding towards me
finally and again
I reach out to touch you - hold you
and smile and wait
