[painting: 'Sohni' by Arpana Kaur] |
waiting for you to make the journey
so that we can be together
is one of the hardest waits ever
sometimes i feel i hear you
pitter patter
when i hear the rustle of the wind through the trees
or the drumbeat of my favorite song
sometimes i worry for your safety
as you may have to cross rivers
or oceans
and i hope for your vessel to be strong
there's a confluence of birds singing
and i think maybe i hear
your giggle
among them
how strange it is to feel a love this deep
and to pray for your safety
and long for your arrival
when we haven't even met yet...
or have we?
