Absence
So sad; she stands on sandy shore
Her love, it sailed so, out to sea
Upon the waves, under the moon
She smells his being, there on the breeze
As heart then drops, it struggles long
She falls, to wait, upon her knees
For he set sail one summer day
With promise to one day return
A year had passed, no word from him
And so her heart, it still there yearns
She gives not up, her one true love
As deep inside her love still burns
A night, a night, she prays he shows
As then her smile will find her face
Until that night, she continues long
For deep inside, no love replace
She prays for his most safe return
Each night she waits for their embrace
