He waited for you...
there by the trees
as the morning dew
dripped down
off the leaves
alone;
he waited for you


He waited for you...
standing silent
tasting drops
of past reflection
rolling down his face
in a lonely place
he waited for you


He waited for you...
there by the pond
where blades of grass
collected under his feet
and flowers from the garden
permeated the air so sweet
he waited for you


He waited for you...
with bated breath
whispered your name
softly, slowly
again and again
as time passed
in quiets rasp
he waited for you


He waited for you...
there with his soul
and there with his mind
yet only you would know
what he would come to find
absent without care
love would never share
wonder if you knew
he waited there for you


He waited for you...
in just a split second
as the chamber turned
the flash sought reckoning
and his heart for you still yearned
final problem solved
for all that were concerned
Wondered if you knew?
Or of the news you'd learned?
he waited...there for you

How you can write about such things, and not know me, is strange. I am amazed.

Most often in my writes, I am the he as is this piece. Fortunatly, God stepped into my life a split second before a final click, decided I wasn't finished here yet.
