'Abdu'l-Baha

 

                    There was no doubt that you

                                    would come to me from beyond

                                                the great forever

                                                                    Reaching out...

 

                    There was only sureness

                        and tranquillity,  but no certainty

                                        that I would take your hand

                                                            when you arrived....

 

                     Or run.

                                     Fleeing.

 

                                           With heart intact.

 

                          Not falling with you into the endless light

                                                        of truth and pain.

                                                                                Love and pain.

 

                          Never to be

                                           wholly  my self

                                                                again......
