You were long to come
But you have come.
I had expected you
To come by early morn ,
So I woke up with the birds
And brought some flowers
From the garden .
I sat there at the door
Looking down
The narrow path
Where it turns
At the edge of the forest .
I wondered
If you would come singing
The song of young spring ,
And look lovelier
Than the morning dew
On rose petals .
But
I could hear nothing
Except
The echoes of my thoughts
In my empty heart ;
And it was almost noon
When you came ;
On my closed eyes
You touched your lips .
I thought I was dreaming –
But then you whispered
In my ears ,
“ I am here “ .
You were long to come
But I know
Now you are here .
