Fall Reunion
Photo by Bgrace
Meet me in the meadow
At six o' nine
Hear the key change
The strings intertwine
Sweet melody returns
Unlocks the dawn
"Sing with me," you bid
Until I must admit
"Since you've been gone,
I've lost my song"
"Never mind," you say so kind
"I will give you one of mine"
Meet me in the temple
At nine o' six
I hear your footsteps coming
Breaking upon the sticks
Eyes full of sparkle
Your gaze transfixed
Your hands cover mine
With the gentlest touch
I turn them face up
Into communion cups
A sip of sacrifice
For each of us
We'll always come around to this place
Forever be drawn by this time
No matter how far apart we go
We'll be brought back by the chimes
Someday we'll find we can stay
And forever, never go away
*Much of my life has been spent in distance from the ones I love.
This poem is about the pain of being far away,
The joy of reunion,
And the hope of eternity together.
