Waiting: Written sometime in 2007

Daylight lingers less
The warmth of day fading fast
The air hardens and bites
Plants shed excess and crumple

The long days of summer have passed
The longer cold nights replace
As if the world,
Mourning with my heart in mind,
Recedes from itself in your absence

Longing for daylight, as I long for you
Wishing for the warmth of the sun
        As I wish for the warmth of your laughing smile

Neither prayer is answered now
But in time, the long, lonely, cold nights
        Will give way to the dawn of life and laughter and warmth


And you, my love, will return
