Waiting
The minutes tick by
The falling leaf
drops ever so slowly
The tired coo of doves
echo and re-echo
Waiting is such a tired game
I count my breath
I watch the clouds
I shuffle and shift
lay down and close my eyes
sigh
Tired game, waiting is
You are not here yet...
where are you
I don't know
where are you...
so far away and yet so near
or are you in her arms
tonight?

You are not here yet...
where are you
I don't know
where are you...
so far away and yet so near
or are you in her arms

Grace you are very deep young woman, this piece is so profound and taps into very feminine emotions. Excellent.

It reflects all the anxiety of waiting. And also the suspicion of treason. A short poem with a great atmosphere.
