I SEE YOU NOW

 

Wonder why

Since you’ve been around the world

Before you met me

I wonder if you

Could let them go

Followers, lovers and dollars

Managers, manipulators and agents

A panoply of sycophants

A dugout of pinch-hitters

But no starters

Until me

And I wonder why

If in fact I know the real you

Why I’m here at the end of your quest

A lover with a wise eye

Who could touch and taste and see and feel and leap

Off the cliff

A hawk

Motionless above the shore

An updraft that defines love

That pulls you up

No matter the solemn score

Those things they like to add up

And subtract from you

As if you only had so much time

And that time was not infinite

As Einstein told me

Down that little alley in Princeton

When he whispered “God”

And I whispered “Yes”

And at that moment, son and mother in view

I said Yes God I see you now
