An Enigmatic Companion

My long awaited companion
but fickle and evasive entity 
I do not look forward to our upcoming date

Though long anticipated 
I don’t think I will be ready
My life's essence rebels against you

Our long awaited rendezvous  
Becomes more and more a dreaded reality
But I realize it's a necessary date albeit ephemeral

I must keep it, I know, for he will transport to begin my search
I await you my suitor, my patient companion,
Full of trepidation, fully excited I await your embrace

Fear grows grows within me as I ponder the inevitable questions 
will this date be the grand entry into a glorious forever 
Or an anticipated date that fizzles into a final ethereal nightmare

Leaving me wrapped in an empty void 
ensconced with an enigmatic feeling of nothingness
but still imbued with the burning question where is the Benevolent Creator
