Longing
Silence brings the messenger to my heart
Love, the soft glow to my eternal flame
Reverent faith keeps it burning while apart
The voice of longing will whisper your name
Remembering your lips keeps me captive
And memory's warm arms still comfort me
This world of patience each night I relive
The fragile wings I grow sets my dream free
As I lay counting shadows, I will smile
Thinking of you warmly bathed in jeweled light
I shall breathe your vision in for awhile
And calm my restless soul with peaceful flight
Oh, to be a traveler who crosses space
To find you longing with a sweet embrace
