Waiting Is your voice the same in heaven? Do the acoustics resound? Do your eyes lay the melody— Sing of love without a sound? Do the angels dance to your whims, The way I long to still? Does the air breathe reassurance? Is it okay, there, to feel? Do the stars have to seek shelter, In light of your heart’s shine? Could they even hold a candle To the day that it was mine? Oh I wonder of the wonder Found in learning to release, (When it turns out being alone Is the price of priceless peace). When you let go of all you fear, On towards your date with dust— All you believe you must hold near, For what more could you trust? I shall sing for you tomorrow As this waiting game is played, But I will not dance with Sorrow, And I will not leave dismayed.

Enjoyed this poetic expression of a charming, hopeful 'wait' for the return of a love interest, or someone you hold dear. |

“ Do the stars have to seek shelter, In light of your heart’s shine? Could they even hold a candle To the day that it was mine?” A tender heart is hard to find. I always enjoy your work, Michael. |

“When you let go of all you fear, On towards your date with dust— All you believe you must hold near, For what more could you trust?” Michael, your writing has always spoken to me … this is a heartfelt peace, and as always, so beautifully written. Best wishes and hugs to you, Kit |
