Someday, Goddess, Someday (new poem)

Someday, Goddess, Someday

by Tim Kavi

someday

I will walk these steps

for the final time

traverse these stairs

look out the windows

of my soul

it will be the end of this

body; in that approaching night

when the lights of your temple

seems distant

and I cannot climb the hill

to your heart anymore

some said I have done good

some even said I have done bad

but it is in my words that remain

that is all that needs to be said

a testament of your love

that I am loved when I did not deserve it

that I am hugged when I am most profane

I remain a lowly man

in a lowly body

but in your love

my soul shines bright

there is hope for the time

I am given

until that day I depart

this body

and approach the white light

someday, Goddess, someday

I will not then ever be

snatched from your love.
