Finally

Finally


I finally found my one at the end of my life 
The one who could run circles around my words 
And embrace me 
The one who could grab my desire and hold on 
And draw me in. 

The one who could listen without fear 
Open hearted Without a tear and say
In a spirit of comfort, “come to me“. 

Oh, so close to you I remain, 
And yet so far away. 
The ache we speak of, send signals
Through my body and soul .

I want you. But I want you here. 
In the night, my soul cries out 
Because it’s joy and it’s pain 
To finally find what has been sought 
Only to have to wait .

I’ve learned to be patient in God‘s timing 
Even while being surprised at finding you 
My body aches for that first hug 
And the kiss of love that I know is coming 
And the walks and the talks 
And the gazing over coffee .

God gives me life and changed it 
But you are my life and every moment 
You are with me and lift me 
And the words flow around us 
Rich as candy at Christmas 
In the sweetness of mingled souls .

Yes, it’s towards the end generally
And I finally find you
Like the last Christmas present
That hides in the tree
Waiting for the receiver as a surprise.
