All things come to he who waits

For, eventually, there'll be a gate

Opening onto a garden of splendor

Filled with blooms spreading wonder



As sunbeams shine rays over flowers

And petals open up wide to the power

Carried upon this so very simple strength

Something eternal ... it will never end



Just like the awesome power of true love

Showering from places of heart and above

Fused with desire and kindled by caring

When it all comes together - total sharing



Of all you have, and everything you are

The power in the feeling extends unmarred

For you're consumed with passion unbridled

As every part of your being hums inside all



And all of your parts inside then climb out

Now your vulnerabilty is showing, and clout

Which existed before you found the feeling

Now is lost in this merge that sent you reeling



But the satisfaction comes in waves of delight

For you knew the waiting game'd have its light

As it's just a matter of time before things come

And the tarrying was just a place which numbed
