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.
