“Ever has it been that love knows not
its own depth until the hour of separation.”
Kahlil Gibran
Wait with me
for a while;
I would not waste your time.
Wait with me
while twilight twists
in bashful gestures,
and the sun pouts
in retaliation.
Wait with me
while I sing my song,
while I weep
when rules are broken.
Wait with me
while I fly
for the both of us.
I do not know
whether we win or lose,
but this I know;
when I ask myself how
we came so far,
it is because, for a time,
our wings were wounded.
