Eager

If harm lurks in the corners and
In the shadows and reflective surfaces
Of your existence
Just wait.
You will be safe.

Pain is only a temporary occurrence.
Soon enough you will recover
And the ache, the sting, the pressure
Will dissipate.
We humans have a slow memory.
You will forget the hurt--
In time.

Your prayers echo off the galaxies
Like energy in the cosmos conspiring with
Time and space;
Like sound moving crazily in a hollow drum.
Your want is heard--
The message received.
Just wait.

And you climb mountains
To show the world that you can;
That your muscles are strong
And your resolve is fierce.
Only you forget half way up that mountain--
Never forget.
You are a child of beauty;
Of intelligence and love.
You will reach the highest peak
And you will be victorious.
Just wait.
