He Finds You
By
Radiance Angelina Petro
He finds you, just as morning finds you,
just as the sky finds the fledgling’s wings.
He finds you as every wave finds the shore
and washes every shell, and collects them
in the infinite folds of his memory, and returns them
to the sea where they belong.
Try not to sleep against the day. The living awakening
finds you with the light he carries in his pockets.
Do as he says. The unavoidable storm of his longing for you
will shake the foundations of your life.
And when all is said and done, you will bask in the eternity
of the sweetness of being found.
