Longing for him




Halls of Longing

In this space and place of waiting
There is a voice I hear
Echoing through the empty halls
Of loneliness and fear
A fear that has no leaving
Until your face I see
Standing in the doorway
Reaching out for me
For in this time of stillness
I am but half not whole
Waiting for reunion
I am barely in control
All that I am is nothing
Without you by my side
So I shall wait not wander
It's here I will abide
In these halls of longing
I open every door
Looking for you darling
To arrive from distant shores
I hear your voice calling
It is my name you say
That gives me hope in waiting
For our communion day

I feel your longing and your pain. The wanting seems to have no beginning and no end, its everylasting. This is so good. You are a master. Or should I say Misstress?

Beautiful Kathy, I hope the wait will not be too long - I know those fears too, they're just nameless though and love always shines through.
