Arrival

This is how I felt when something very big that I was waiting for finally came into view.

And it is there
Finally, the time draws near
For me to reach my finger tips
To that which I have so longed for
Ached over

That desire that has choked out
Drowned out all other thoughts and motivations
Only to be replaced
With this one voluptuous dream
That must take place
Will take place
In a matter of days
Not weeks or months
Anymore

The relief is palpable
Like a sweet treat
So delicate against the tongue
And yet as loud and ecstatic
As shimmering fireworks as they crackle in the air
Shining forth in brilliant colors and patterns

I will be taking my long awaited prize now
With a pluck of the fingers
For it is now finally within reach
And the wait is over
