The Presence of Love

 

I feel the presence of love

In the air about me

As children feel the excitement

Of Christmas Eve.

 

You are not far away

And I reach out to touch you

Like a blind person waiting

For the joyful warmth of a hand.

 

I know not yet

Who you are,

But you will know me

As I will know you.

 

It is only time that separates

Our experience together.

It is this time that teaches us

Of the love we'll find together.

 

Oh sweet time,

I will learn your lessons well,

For I want the highest reward.

I will know the tests of love.

 

Your presence is near.

I have studied your mind

And I have learned

Your touch.

 

It is my time, Love.

Oh sweet Love,

It is my time!
