Lag B'Omer

" . . . great light is concealed in great darkness."
--Rav Berg

All I can do is wait.
The hope of you--the thought of your body pressed against mine
And the kind of yearning
That other people write about
And that I finally felt for the first time
Last night
With you--
Is something I started searching for
several lifetimes before this one, I am sure.

Electric energy
Pure chemistry
The first touch at a first meeting
From someone I'm sure I've known before.
I sat here waiting for your arrival
Like it was the absolute coming of doom
I sulked as you drew near!
And when you looked into my eyes
And told me I was "as beautiful as you'd imagined,"
It filled my lonely heart
For the first time in years.

Who knows?
Maybe it was my second coming of Christ
Or maybe it was just another guy.
