i will wait
beyond the shadows
near the rivers edge
i shall kneel
beside the place where heaven turns
where the water
rushes stronger –
than my memory is old
a crush of almost everything
i came for this
to know
i will wait
as april wishes
are swept beyond the veil
til you have come
reminding me of home
i will wait
the red sky morning
your kiss upon my brow
i will wait
beyond the shadows
to remember why
i came

. . .
