There Is a Poem I Will Write One Day

There is a poem
I will write one day
(but this isn't it)
that will describe,
without a wasted word,
what my heart
perfectly understood
the moment I first met you.

Like a still pond
on a clear day,
you will be able to see
your face in it
and, if you are thirsty,
drink.

What you will see there
will delight you, astound, amaze.
So much so, you may end up
removing all the mirrors from your house
or singing all night long.

Yes, I know I am writing about a poem that is not yet written
but so what?
Don't people speak of a God they've never seen?
Trust me.
The poem I speak of is coming soon,
Or, if not soon,
then later,
or if not later,
I guess this poem will have to do.
