I Await

Wide awake in the pitch of night   
is when they come   
drifting in and out dreams   
dancing between real and fantasy   

declaration sits within the heart 
and is always felt   
each time different but the same   
the longing oft remains   
and roams   
  
the thrums, the whirrs   
easing me off to you   
caressing those night time blues   
staring then stirring   
  
how can I await   
as time passes by slowly   
but surely   
you wait too

Lin Lane Date: 7/8/2018 7:36:00 AM In an identical dreamscape you will find the one you seek. Send your coordinates.;-) Seriously, it's filled with longing and expressed sorrowfully, but beautifully. This reminds me of a verse in Robert Brownings poem 'A Woman's Last Word... " —-Must a little weep, Love,/ (Foolish me!)/ And so fall asleep, Love,/ Loved by thee."
