Always and Already Here

"I wait with Love's expectancy. 
Come in, Dear Guest."

I wait, breath slowing; 
knowing You do not approach
from the outside, but emerge 
from the Secret Place where
You hide within my soul.

You hidden within me.
I hidden within Thee.

Deeper down, further in. 
My Love, Infinitesimal, 
I am embedded
in Your Warm Infinity. 

Ah! So, You are not 
the Guest for Whom 
I wait! No, my Love!
For You are Always
and Already Here.

It is only Awareness 
that is the Guest. 

"I wait with Love's expectancy. 
Come in..."
