The Awaited Meeting

By Ellora Rath

The water streaming from the waterfall

running into the rocks as if longing to meet

The foam in the water dancing

to the tunes of the awaited meeting

My soul longing to pour into the flow of sacred love

That has been calling me often from far and beyond

Listening to the waterfall takes me deep into the songs

buried and carefully stored within the crevices of my heart

The song finds a way to stream into the rocks of my body

finally daring to fall into the long cherished tender dreams

Is it the waterfall in me that wants to rise high after a fall?

Is it me in the waterfall,

wanting to be held close after running down?

Together, we nourish each other with our stories and longings

As we come in union to hold the other,

We carve a space of our own

We tend to our dreams and discover to each other we belong
