Timing

Thousands of miles 
with hope alone as my wings 
hurried 
Crossing many eyes, hands,
and hearts 
pushing through 
high, high I flew 
forty years of wilderness wandering 
that finally led me to 
you.

"I'm right here" 
I called, with a big sigh 
and a warm smile.
"Open the gate"! 

You glanced at the clock 
and then back at me 
"You're a little too early,
or maybe too late"...
