Waiting
At the edge of this abyss
Looking down into nothingness
A void of emptiness
Nothing within but echoes
like soughing howls
of sorrow and regret
Staring down the emptiness
Watching reflections
of the empty beginnings
thousands of yesterdays
and the meandering paths
of thousands of tomorrows
I shall traverse those
alone without you
Single faltering footsteps
teetering along precipice
of deep loneliness
a miserly existence
My heart in Atlantis
With a stranger still
Shedding bitter tears
Yet unable to fulfil
a karmic promise
to a rebirth of souls
Treading this existence alone
I wait on the cycle
of life, lived and done
until I shall refill
the love cup empty now
Until the stranger becomes
a stranger no more
A soul-mate never known
A half-self never touched
A love loved, never felt
I wait, I love
To die and to fly once more
back to here
And wait for you, stranger
Looking down into nothingness
A void of emptiness
Nothing within but echoes
like soughing howls
of sorrow and regret
Staring down the emptiness
Watching reflections
of the empty beginnings
thousands of yesterdays
and the meandering paths
of thousands of tomorrows
I shall traverse those
alone without you
Single faltering footsteps
teetering along precipice
of deep loneliness
a miserly existence
My heart in Atlantis
With a stranger still
Shedding bitter tears
Yet unable to fulfil
a karmic promise
to a rebirth of souls
Treading this existence alone
I wait on the cycle
of life, lived and done
until I shall refill
the love cup empty now
Until the stranger becomes
a stranger no more
A soul-mate never known
A half-self never touched
A love loved, never felt
I wait, I love
To die and to fly once more
back to here
And wait for you, stranger
