The Invitation

©2013 Louise Gallagher

I thought
you didn’t see
me
waiting
for you
to step
across the threshold
of my heart
beat
pounding
with anticipation
of your
caress

I thought
you didn’t
see
me.

I see
now
you were always
listening
to my heart
beat
calling.

I see
you now
inviting
me
to enter
the portal
of your Love.
