Meeting Place
Dear man,
Come as you are
For a date with a woman
Come tired, bored,
Or sad, even uncertain.
Come curious, clumsy,
come aloof.
Come frighten
or disturbed
by worldly news.
Don’t think of anything to say,
Don’t think of things to do.
Just come.
Come early.
Sit and drink some tea.
She has already arrived
Unseen, unheard, untouched.
Watching you, listening to your song,
Softly stroking your hair.
She wants nothing from you
but to come.
The rest is …
Just a love story.
Shh, the world sleeps in peace!
