I am here

Water flowing over stone;
the wind carries the night;
only fire and dawn are absent,
but now I am here.

Couples curl together in alcoves;
others seduce novels and schoolwork;
no one stands alone,
but now I am here.

The water sings;
the people speak;
silence is unheard of,
but now I am here.

Through the sun and the heat,
through traffic and congestion,
I have traveled long,
and now I am here.

Now, I am here.
