i am waiting

are you in the world tonite?

for i have not seen you here 

i have looked for you in the heart 

and found you to be gone 

i sat in the sun under the tree 

and heard the birds call come and go

i watched the shadows rise and fall

and felt the cool breeze on the skin

i heard the water rushing near by

and saw the sun melt slowly behind 

the mountains

i sat here long and long 

and have not  yet
heard your footsteps round the bend

i see you in the morning light 

with nothing but your soul as it is 

as a jewel of truth

uncovered of your worries

and sighted finally at last 

i see you as a saint and a master in your heart 

not set in mind like you are 

i see the truth under your unsteadiness

and hear the heart beat of life in your soul

when you come round the bend, listen!

be still

the earth is speaking it's song

of life so pure and rich

the blossoms are falling and the sky is deepening

with shades of ruby and gold 

and the sea is turning so dark with blue

the flowers are dancing too

when you come round the bend, listen

to the call of your soul that reflects this beauty

oh my friend 

you are to be coming?

for the joy is boundless 

and you are to be home at last 

i wait here in the perfection

so full and ripe 

like the dove and the swan 

and the calm water that reflects 

yet i am not as you think

i am what you are 

and we are not apart 

here this way my friend 

here now 

come round the bend..

i am waiting...
