Wanting, waiting

by dandy   Aug 12, 2004


Longing to find something,
waiting for someone.
I look around but no ones here,
there's nothing, there is none.
Is there a person for me to love?
Someone to love me back?
I ponder these thoughts
that are in my head,
but it's the answers that I lack.
I begin to feel restricted,
I need to go find space.
I get up and I start to run
to a very far away place.
I'm going away running
far and fast,
but my legs and lungs,
they cannot last.
I collapse in a heap on the cold hard ground.
Darkness surrounds me,
is this where I am bound?
I'm frightened and I'm scared,
but I don't know what to do.
I curl up and I start to cry,
this emptiness is true.
Fresh, hot tears roll down my face,
I wish this feeling of loneliness
could simply be erased.
I stand up and I look to my left and my right.
Nothing is around my,
not a soul in my sight.
I look down at the ground,
and then up at the sky.
The mean, dark grey clouds part,
and light meets my eyes.
I cower, I'm scared,
so I shut my eyes tight.
I hope this isn't the end,
but it may be, it just might.
But with my eyes closed,
little do I know,
that there is nothing to fear
in this pure, white, soft glow.
I feel warm breath blow
softly upon my ear.
Which whispers,
Dear girl, it's alright.
You have nothing to fear.
I relax at these words taken
over by bliss,
as I taste the flavor of love's
sweet, gentle kiss.
It lasts for a moment,
then is gone as quickly as it came.
I opened my eyes, and I shouted
to the light,
Wait! Do you have a name?
It said,
Love goes by no specific name, it is many different things.
But be patient my dear girl,
and one day you'll get your ring.
Get my ring? I thought.
That doesn't make any sense.
But when I put it together my understanding was intense.
I learned, Love doesn't come
when you want it to.
It comes when it thinks your ready.
When you want love,
you may not know it,
but love sees when your unsteady.
It is at that precise moment,
when love does make it's move.
The wait will be well worth it.
Jus twatch and love will prove.

God has a plan for everyone in life.
At times, we may not like the way
our life is going, but trust God. He
know's what he's doing up there.
