I have waited all of my life, where are you?…#341

I have waited all of my life, where are you?

I have watched many moons go by, seen the

Seasons change outside my window.  I have

seen the Tulips bloom in spring, the wild flowers

scatter themselves among the tall grasses and

the young bushes trying to live. 

I watched the sparkle of campfires and fireplaces,

watched my body go from firm youthful skin to

wrinkles that I do not recognize, still I wait for you. 

Time does exist, lingers in light, darkness, the glow

of a fire in fall, I picture the boats bringing you to

me from the other side of the world, from the island

that is yours alone, I wait for you.

Now, it is time for me to stop my watch and wait,

time for me to turn the page away from dreaming

to reality, you will not come and rescue me from

the life that I have lived.  I have stop searching the

horizon, do not look for me, for I shall already be

dead. 

The winds of time passes through life, my heart has

taken roots on many shores.  It was not destined

for me to have love, it is too late, I have no more

tomorrows.  I am the flower whose petals have

blown away in the winds of spring, but, I do hope

that I am remembered when the snow falls.
