Person At The Window
Peering through the portal of life
Ever hopeful for that day of
Reckoning to come and
Sweep me
Off my feet~
Now, a moments’ pass of time feels like eternity
As I stand gazing, praying for
The storm clouds to pass~
Thoughts swirl in my head of
How often I’ve longed for the relief that may
Eventually come, releasing me from this solitude~
When? I can’t possibly know. Only time
Is my companion for now until the
Next fleeting moment when the
Dawning of the sun shines briefly
On my weary face, bringing me a
Whisper of the person I once was
