One day, a poem would descend
to siphon the dust from your soul
and cleanse your heart of the loves
that left you wanting.
One day, a voice would reach out
to you in the dark and whisper,
You are an everyday glory
despite your repeated stumbles.
One day, someone would traipse
into your life with their sizzling aura
and you'd want to revere them.
And that someone would be you.
That someone would be the truest you.
So, linger.
Linger for another day.
Linger for the miracles.
Linger for the mysteries.
Let every cell of your body
echo softly with the word-
L i n g e r.
