Anticipation....

Lamps lit in the darkness
like a jeweled evening gown
my soul sings of an emptiness
not having you around...but,
heartsong's are sung to the brightest star
hoping they find you wherever you are...

Can you hear me,while I wait to hear you?

A sad write, jay. I really liked the comparison 'Lamps lit in the darkness like a jeweled evening gown'. Love can bring you pain sometimes, unfortunately. Emily

I believe our loved ones always hear us if we have a true connection with them, Jay. Many of us can relate to the emptiness of having to reach out to someone who is no longer at our side. Best wishes, Carolyn
