It’s raining
The ground smells like it has been kissed
I’m joining in
On the love fest of everything I have missed.
I have a date
One that has been decades in the making,
Have to put the right music on
But the rain droplets and the leaves are already dancing
So I put down my records and listen in.
I have a date
One I had lost my belief in
Lost my way to and
Lost the invitation
Thought I’d never find you again
But once I cut the noise
Between self-pitty and complaining
I heard a call between drops of rain
That led me back to you
I have a date
The breeze, the sunbeams
Jogged the memories of our meetings
The bird song and water streams
Recounted stories of us
Some I remember, they speak of events
but often,
that have yet to happen
I have a date
Certainly, I show up few years late
Yet you’re here
My peace, my joy, my heart
Pardon my shortcoming
And thank you so much for waiting .
