I See Him Now

 

  1. The petals have fallen to the ground.

  2. The rain is too much for them.

  3. This steady downpour

  4. A torrent.

  5. How different today is

  6. As it begins again,

  7. Like yesterday

  8. Or tomorrow.

  9. Everything is changed.

  10. I have mixed the colors,

  11. Added paint,

  12. I see him now.

  13. My hands are moving,

  14. Mixing,

  15. Dipping,

  16. Discovering,

  17. Him.

  18. How he sits,

  19. His presence,

  20. And what it means to attend.
