Anticipation


The storm
has passed.
The rumble
of the thunder
is retreating
the lightning
crashing
further away
with long silences
between.

A rain drop
hangs
on the brim
of a leaf
slowly being seduced
by gravity
until the instant
of surrender
and release.

My mind compares
that rain drop
to my heart
hanging
waiting
already surrendered
to you
but allowing
the slow and gentle gravity
of your attraction
to pull me
at last into your arms.

Feel the enlongation
the anticipation
the steady pull
as the rain drop
yeilds to earth
and I
so slowly
to you.
