Love Waits
Love waits
patient, unseen, outside of time.
It cloaks as car accident,
chronic illness, or grief;
starry night, baby’s breath, or
first ripe raspberry in spring.
It is waiting,
waiting for you,
waiting for you to turn around,
to finally turn inside.
This love flows, wholly dependable,
unlike relationship, made of two:
at best, a luscious, rampant garden,
filled with surprise and hidden delight—
still—in all its fullness, a mere reflection,
temporary and time-bound for loss.
Love waits,
waits for you,
waits for you to turn around,
to finally turn inside.

Eloquent, profound and lovely; the idea of baby’s breath and first ripe raspberries a perfect evocation of worldly love objectified; many congratulations.
