The Time Will Come



the time will come

when with elation

you will greet yourself

arriving

at your own door

in your own mirror

and each will smile

at the others welcome

and say "sit here"

"eat"

you will love again the stranger who was yourself

give wine

give bread

give back your heart to itself

to the stranger who has loved you all your life

whom you ignored for another

who knows you by heart

take down the love letters from the bookshelf

the photographs

the desperate notes

peel your own image from the mirror

sit

feast on your life



anonymous
