morning air, soft,
warm and welcome as a lovers touch
summer leaves promise
almost time
almost ready
I travelled far
not counting footsteps
shapeless past not formed
by ranks of hours
yet now days to come
are measured precise
and welcome as
the needle falls
too short now
and too long
stretching home
and footsteps close
to beating hearts
to clasping hands
to sighing breath
together
