He arrives in swirls of feelings
Wide eyed and questioning
I lower my eyes and make space
There’s plenty of room for us both
Will you
He asks
Yes
The boundaries in place
I will wait
For the welcoming
For the wonder
For the calling
For the pleasure
I will walk free beside him
When he arrives
In a swirl of colors and sound
Breathing life into a dead space
Breathing warmth into the cold
Breathing love into the empty place
My heart left when it flew
To be near him
I dance alone until then
Content to be myself
Letting my heart roam where it will
Until it returns for this moment
Of welcoming
