Waiting For Her
I wait for her
Somewhere between
The edge of night and day
A long time ago
We were young
And birds flew overhead
In warm skies
We lived by a
River’s edge
On Summer days
She would pick flowers
And we would walk
Through the fields
Hand in hand
Content
That our children
Were healthy and strong.
The centuries pass
Now the spirit
Is tired
Birds of prey
Circle overhead
Spiraling
Downward
Closer and closer
I remember how
She held me
And promised that
No matter what
We would be together again.
I feel her presence
Just beyond my reach
Time has no meaning here
So I wait
And wait
And wait for her
To come to me.
In another time
And place
We will be
Together again
And walk through the fields
Hand in hand
Content that our children’s children
Are healthy and strong
Once again.
