This Time, For Jew
This time
I roam far away and wide, searching
To find that door that will bring you again
Into the room, naked at dim evening
Fluttering my heart like a swallow in a rain
This time
Electronic conversations slowly subside
And night wrings my body bare of patience
Beyond the altar's pause of breath, my bride
Uses love's time with such fond extravagance
This time
I wait not for earth's most beautiful woman
But for earth's most beautiful wife, and mine
Is the joy of watching the birds stroll the sand
Leaving footprints of memory all over my mind
This time
And I shall love you forever, beyond all wait
For spring and flowers where your light bloom
And where days long coming still long hesitate
Before the silent door of an unforgotten room
This time
