Waiting (For Estrella)
I’ve waited for you in the rain
With a rainsong in my heart.
I’ve traveled the sea of time
From my mother’s womb
To wait for you here.
The organ now plays our music
And I see your beaming face.
You gaze at the altar
As I take your hand.
The wait ends
And we kneel before the priest.
