The Longing Await

The Longing Await Across the expanse, just beyond the great beyond, the longing awaits the long awaiting of old. It is here, and only here, that death cannot abscond that which was and which can no longer unfold. Watching and waiting on wings that still lightly quiver. Where death, devoid of hands, can no longer pull a trigger. © Mirroring Hearts 09/27/19 #2
