I have a date with you.

You will be there.
As I close my eyes, I will feel your hand against my heart.
I will feel your arms wrapped around me.
A tight embrace, similar to my son's.
I have lost sleep due to my anxiousness of being with You again.
I feel you as words of wisdom and ecstatic notes ring above my head.
You will be there and I have been looking forward to this meeting
once again.

I remember a time...

When I didn't have to think so hard...
about You.
about Life and who I am in it.
And somehow with all that surrounded me,
I knew You were there.

You sung to me in chords and melodies.
You danced with me on stages of bright light.
And then,
You appeared within calm waters, gracing my heart with your presence and reminding me that even through pain,
You were and will be there.

It's been a while...

But you are still on my mind...
Like a wandering branch that sits heavy with snow.
You move me beyond words, with feelings as heavy as the tears that flow from
my eyes
my heart.

And I still question who I am,
my job here on earth.
I realize that human experience is full of pain yet I maintain a stance
in the middle of
uncertainty and truthfulness.

With it all, You surround me.
