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

A long, long time ago...
there was a Dennis in my life...
I know he never waited for me,
but if he had?

I would have liked it to sound like this,
and to know
that he found me
at the end of the story....

I was touched by your response.
I'm sure you were his Sunshine

Thank you so much. Still wondering about a post you made to one of my poems a couple weeks back. If you find some time, and find it, perhaps you'll answer

Dennis,

This is very, very touching. Just about the time I find my favorite of yours, I go and find another. Enjoyed this much.
