The Time Will Come…
Breathe by Linaji
The time will come
When,
With elation,
You will greet yourself arriving
At your own door,
in your own mirror,
And each will smile at the other’s welcome,
And say, sit here, Eat.
You will love again the stranger who was yourself.
Give wine, Give bread, Give back your heart
To itself, to the stranger who has loved you
All your life, whom you ignored for another
Who knows you by heart.
Take down the letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes,
Peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit
Feast on your life.
— Derek Walcott
