Everything In Its Proper Place
Somehow, it seems I have been here before...
There is an old orchard far up the hill
Looking across the golden valley floor
the sky is clear, the air is still
A latticed arbor, entwined and draped
with vine and bloom, is basking in the sun
I see her there! A slim, familiar shape...
She smiles, and beckons me to come
O’ my heart!!
Are you strong enough
to embrace, at last
this fulfillment of your wish?!
O’ my heart!!
Are you strong enough to welcome
joy so vast as this?!
I step on the path
I feel knees tremble
My world is shaking
A sleeping childhood
has been awakened
Perhaps a dream?
Please, wake me not!
Recognition!
It shines
in her eyes!
Although
I am,
a woman now....
and not a child!!
Oh God in heaven!!
She
knows
who
I
am!!
***
Above her, I see
September geese are winging
to their winter home----
All is right, when things return...
each one to its proper place
*
If this be a dream
wake me
not
*
*
*
for
I
am
home
