you always were
autumn
in all the years we have known
in the decades before
as you are glimpsing
half a hundred years
close
soon
you are
coming into your own
into your beauty
transcendent
present
crystalline
slicing through waves
this is your time
as you fly weightless
into the soft
greengold
light
sometimes even
with me
for a little while
