Poem to Tara

I see love coming toward me

from thousands of years away

walking over the ashes and bones

of a thousand civilizations.

I see you coming toward me

from thousands of years away

drowning the darkness of history

with your light.

I see you coming toward me

from thousands of years away

sharing your light, your peace

and your wisdom.

You take ages-long steps

toward me

to reach me

giving.

I take short, unsure steps

towards you

to reach you

wanting.

I see you coming toward me

from thousands of years away

and tomorrow

you will touch me.

Victor Vasquez
