HOPE
Sunday, 23 August 1981

I am a person, sitting at a study-window, watching,
   Waiting
For a glimpse of a lone figure on a bay horse
Amidst grey-green trees
On a gloomy August afternoon.
You don’t know I’m
   Waiting.

I am a woman watching,
   Waiting
For your handsome, rugged face and your smiling eyes,
And your strong, hands that are so quiet on Malibu’s neck,
And your crooked back that you hold so straight,
And your deep soft voice,
And all these, to hold me.
Will you ever notice me
   Waiting?

I have a soul soaring, hovering,
   Waiting
In the strident call of your hadedahs
To touch softly the courage, gentleness and strength
Of your beautiful soul -
Let me,
And notice me
   Waiting.

I am a being,
   Waiting
To offer you my soul, body, mind and spirit
In the hopes that you want them
And that they will be enough.
Please
Notice me
   Waiting.

So lovely, and just the right touch of longing.
Very much enjoyed the read.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

This is so utterly beautiful.....

If every man knew that there was someone waiting, like this, feeling this....all roads would be full of loveward-bound men....and then very, very empty.

Thank you, Kate.

Thank you Ratleader. My waiting was rewarded, and it lasted a long time, but then I ended it to my regret and then he wouldn't take me back. That was a long time ago. Giggles about the empty roads!

Oh... this is so very lovely!!! Such waits often go unrewarded... and that should never be.

Thanks Suthern. Glad you enjoyed it so much. I was fortunate. My wait was eventually rewarded, and although it was a wonderful relationship that lasted quite a long time, I chose to end it, then regretted it, but he wouldn't take me back.
