I wait

I wait
till leaves turn brown to green
till flowers wake up at dawn
till cocoons fly out in color
till Love shows up my door.

I wait
because The Fall will soon be over
because morning will cause things to rise
because wings bring new horizons
because Love will soon find shelter.

I wait
when the Tree finds solid ground
when sunrise fills my world with Light
when flight brings You in sight
when Love comes in to stay.

I wait.

I wait
till leaves fall off their trees
till flowers dry up and freeze
till butterflies crush their wings
till Love leaves one deceased.

I wait
because I will find my roots
because I will bloom again
because I will soar like an eagle
because I will find Love within.

I wait
when trees turn green again
when new seed falls on the ground
when airplanes leave messages in the skies
when I find Love, when I find my One True Self.

I wait.
