This Poem Belongs to You

This poem
  belongs to you
    and is already finished,

it was begun years ago
     and I put it away

knowing it would come
   into the world
     in its own time.

In fact
   you have already read it,
     and closing the pages 
       of the book,

you are now 
  abandoning the projects
     of the day and putting on
       your shoes and coat 
         to take a walk.

It has been long years
   since you felt like this.

You have remembered
   what I remembered,
     when I first began to write.
