Expectation
Every time I am reminded of his presence,
Expectations of him arise from a distance,
A longing for high angels’ pure essence
when children are awakened out of trance.
He moves from one principality to another
without any sleepy eyes becoming aware
that his coming brings much more than a brother,
whose reflection of man is a gleaming glare.
When he appears at the edge of the shore
his outer shell emits a swirling gleam,
a royal display in full galore
a banner flowing face into a stream.

This poem has previously been
published under the title I used as my name in 2008. In 2008 and early 2009, I
was published as Jason Ford. In late 2009, I changed my submission name to
Jason Constantine Ford on account of the fact that another guy was self
published on Lulu as 'Jason Ford'.
