Awaited
True thought once,
life abruptly ended in an eve.
Morning come,
awoke whilst nowhere now to leave.
Pastures of greener grass,
lo' beholden, no longer golden.
Resembled ash,
ruins cooled of rivers lava molten.
Was not ‘til night,
or so thought was of my life.
Nearest end,
only future sat perched within my sight.
Vision lost,
once hawklike, not quite blind now at best.
Fog cleared, skies blue,
upon my horizon, you postponed my rest.
Though thought lost,
past years reckoned all had best times of my life.
Age thrust open,
buried youth, reinvigorated, you yet may be my wife.
Meant to be,
awakened my jaded naive belief in destiny.
Certain foolish once,
awaited rewarded faith, with you, the one for me.
