This is for someone special, you know who you are. Thanks to Marge for the refrain.

I go into death
you want  to follow
but don't.
Watch for the wind
and wait.

I know that you're consumed
by all your sorrow.
Don't be.
Watch for the wind
and wait.

I know that memories
can drown you slowly,
I know!
But watch for the wind
and wait.

I know that you are feeling
down and lonely,
don't cry!
Watch for the wind
and wait.

For in the breeze
is hope for new beginnings.
Hear it!
Watch for the wind
and wait

And then you'll rise with joy
for hope is winging
to you.
Watch for the wind
and wait.

My spirit comes to heal you
where you're waiting.
It does!
Watch for the wind
and wait.

Then there will be no tears
and no debating.
It comes!
Just wait for the wind
…and watch.




Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

OhKethry~
She will love both this and your thoughtfulness~

To have lent you the little refrain is my joy,
for you took it just where it needed to go~

Very powerful, Keth. The rhyme scheme is perfect for the words and the Indian influence gives it a spiritual aura....it is excellent!

I watch... I wait... and I wrap myself in the knowing that I'm blessed. This is incredible, my friend... I thank you so!

And if it wasn't for me... I claim it anyway. *S*

This morning shouldn't be different from the others... but for some reason... it's one "consumed by sorrow"... So I had to return to your soothing words...

Dear Lady,
when my thoughts return to you
I know it's time to pray
And when you're feeling sad and blue
I know it's time to say
when sorrow overwhelms your heart
I know it's time. Take care
although I cannot make a start
in spirit I am there
Today you're highest in my mind
and I am praying, then
I'll leave this place for God is kind
and peace will come again.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown
