When love finally arrives

what time of day is it when the love of life 

finally arrives at your door?

is it the noon hour when all are busy with finding something to eat?

is it evening when the shadows dance and fall slowly

dissolving into night?

is it the morning when you are rubbing your eyes 

and cleaning the evenings rest from your soul?

is it the winter when the snow falls softly leaving 

a blanket of white that quiets the world 

and quiets the heart in a winter wonderland?

is it the summer when all that was shut away comes to life

and fills the heart with so much love and rejoicement?

is it the dark hour of despair when one feels they can not take

another step and are so very lost in the dark alleys?

is it the bright dawn when the light creeps through the shades

and melts like butter on the blankets and bright shiny things 

sitting on the tables and shelves sparkle?

could it be when love is not in your heart that this is 

when you are wanting?

could it be that when you have turned your back on 

what is true that you feel like something is missing?

or my dear heart

could it be that you have not seen what really is right

here and now?

this is what is called the right seeing that does not waver

it is what shows up clarity and finds itself right here
