When You Arrive

how long till you arrive 
 when will this end

 forgone conclusions 
 nothing but intrusions 

 for i have waited , waited 

 the rivers have dried 
 with the life giving water

 nothing else matters 
 my mouth parched 

 just waiting , waiting

 quietly you walk
 not making a sound

 coming from a place 
 that you have recently found

 i have waited so long for this 
 i believe this will be it 

 for my shoes can do the same
 walk the mile you have

 now your words are new 
 wise beyond your age new age

 real , not the ones frozen in time 
 i am alive 

 you have arrived , arrived

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
