meet me where you left me


plucked from the Nile
    colorful as your eyes
floating among reeds
    water snakes
        sinking sticks
    and floating wood
a sky swallows me whole

pulled me from the fields
    which shimmy seductive
  mice scurry, gleaning
    a harvest for small lives
snuggled in their
        warm biblical holes

whisked from ark stern
        to rough  waves
    drowning in God's Will,
        brutal to not be a chosen
                duo, 
just a sole leaf surface floating,
    single rock skipping
I am at the bottom of the ocean
    been there for centuries,
                get a scuba suit.

roll away the stone
    wake up from your death,
    Lazarus-
         open you eyes, 
see me, see me still here,
always here
        always waiting
always ready for the wake up
open your eyes to the person
            always by you.

among the waving fronds,
    dried leaves swishing,
I am always here, 
                always waiting,
patient as always, 
        never moving,
so when you are ready
                you'll find me.
