I Wait For You

I wait for you Like the night sky waiting for the kiss of dawn Like the parched earth waiting for refreshing rain Like the hungry child waiting for a morsel of bread I wait for you…. Alone Parched Famished I wait for you… I wait for you Like a writer waiting for the touch of inspiration Like a sick person waiting for healing Like a bird waiting to catch the breeze to soar I wait for you…. Needy Bruised Weak I wait for you... Like a refugee waiting for a place called home Like a mourner waiting for comfort Like winter waiting to make love to spring Like death waiting for resurrection I wait for you…. Poor Dejected Shriveled Lifeless I wait for you... And in the waiting…. I find my comfort, joy, and life For you have promised It won’t be long Till you are here Ending the wait With your love Eileen Manassian Ghali

It seems the "epiphany" asked for your hand in a slow dance. Incredible. Uplifting. Soulful.

WOW!!!! I can't thank you enough. That is so kind and thoughtful. I'm going through the book, Richard. So much I'm learning about you, about life, about myself. On chapter 12...An emotional miner, eh? :) Such lovely words.You should be proud of your accomplishments...I must say...I'm enjoying the stories so much.

Are you speaking of waiting for Jesus? For me this feels more deep than a mere human encounter.

You know, Richard. I had a feeling you'd say that. It could read that way, but that wasn't the intent. No....it is about romantic love....Thanks for visiting.....Chapter 9....:-)

You're never short of inspiration my little Desert Orchid, just think, without those waiting moments how could you write such marvellous poems as this? Take care, Richard
