Soon, Dear Child

8/11/2019
i hear your name
in the moon's echoing embrace
i see your face
in every silver star
and while we haven't yet met
i know the sound of your heartbeat
the touch of your toes
the way you hiccup
the way you dance
soon, dear child, we'll meet face to face
soon, dear child, i'll whisper your sweet name
soon, dear child, i'll hold you in my arms
soon, so soon
