Reflecting off of my feelings
Like a dewdrop on a soft petal
Caressing the hope with...

With trepidation, loneliness, and fear,
I called to you 
And you lived pristinely
You lived in my heart 

I heard their mystical, sage voices cry out
“The one you seek is coming,
Oh so soon is he coming!
And what...
