Coming on like the first light of dawn,
stolen from across the sea.
Now I’ll finally hold you right here in my arms,
and sleep; it will come easily.
You’ve alighted, you’ve pierced through the clouds.
Now you’re in the nest of the night.
Bright and new, just as I’d pictured you
You fill the best of my sight
My hands are cracked and my body is worn
from years in the hot desert sun
I’ve seen the dry wind and the locusts all swarm,
but now all my yearning is done.
Body of all that my yearnings could see
Your body so small and so weak
You were the Word when all time was a dream,
before that first morning, first week.
Now I wait no more
I see dust by the sunlight through the crack of the door
Now I reach my rest
When I wake I’ll be with you, again
