Feeling around in the dark
A light switch in the night
Owls about, cool early morning
About to come.

Empty feeling, cups alone
Meals not shared
Since you have gone
Doors unlocked
Your return here I wait
Staring at the latch



Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
(Daniel J D)

JD~
What a sadly haunting piece of writing.
I could sense the anticipation ...

Daniel,

If it is real she will return . . .you never know.  Nice work.

Marge, Kitkat, Alle'cram, Ron, Irish Rose, Lone Wolf, Rainydays, and nakdthoughts,
Thank you all so very much for your care and concerns. I needed so much support and you gave it all to me.
The doors have reopened, and we are together again. Thank you all.

Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love
