Please Wait 

For you I long tearing my very soul 
no more a man am I 
but an empty shell of what I once was 

wait for me in yonder lands 
i can only hope 
for i come to you in time allowed 

hands and knees I'll crawl 
through thorns and thickets 
wade mire and stench if need be 

no horse can travel swift enough 
no wing shall fly high enough 
i come to you enveloped in love 

wait for me under the tree 
your heart making it grow 
shining as a fallen star 

for there i shall see you 
in all your splendor 
all that together we are
