WAITING
Filled with longing
her soul drawing ever closer
to times of beauty shared
A fragile gaze awake in the darkness
of time, limpid eyes gaze out to sea
waiting watching hoping
the fresh flavour of the darkening night
enveloping her, with
love tugging at her heart
flashes of secret nostalgia
The salty smell of the sea
enchantment is broken,
an ever longing merging
with the dream
Thought and deed
transfiguring the bodies into
life, the rhythm returns,
her body quivering
waiting watching for his return
Melodies and textures remembered
encountered emerging from her mind
listening to the murmur
of grace and movement
The lines of that face
forever etched,
awake!
it is but a dream
Bridging the pain discreetly
joining
the cry and the dream
of the passion that waits for his return
