Awaiting Unknown

Her longing is one that is hard to bear. She thinks of him dearly – And the memories they share… Talking, thinking of one another, Is it enough to suffice – Her endless need for compassion? He gazes at the winding path of time, Thinking of his fair maiden. Does she recall Those precious times? Walking on the moonlit beach, Barefoot on the sandy shore, He longs to see her. In other than his heart. A misty chill sweeps through the night, Will he miss her when she’s is gone? A thought to make her shudder – Why think of something so uncomforting? Can’t he be right here? Can’t his arms be around her in a loving embrace? Her dear lover – Will he return? His loving companion; Will she come back? Will they survive with only memory? With fragments of time that will eventually be lost? Or will they cross a sea of hardship – To the blissful sanctuary created by love and imagination? We cannot tell. It is not for us to tell. Let them decide their own destiny.
