Waiting on the Lord

Remember foliage

a time before there was

and each moment dripped

the passing dew?

You were wise then

you brushed my hair

so it smelled like autumn

even falling asleep

I knew you.

In the wind

I heard your presence

sneaking through the trees,

like a lover

coming to surprise me.

So I waited

and you were all at once

all around me.

So when I see the leaves

I remember

you are near.
