Patiently

will e’re i see
what used to be
afore the days you left

my one beauty
was wrenched from me
i am become bereft

i wait on thee
as you do me
lone cries die in the wind

our souls in need
to be complete
desire each one again

once Death plainly
took you from me
and left but pain’s embrace

yet patiently
Death waits for me
then pain shall be erased
