WAITING (to feel what I know)

Looking for the bright side of this long cold night, as the stars shine bright, like the light in your eyes.

Sitting in the darkness even though it’s uncomfortable, waiting for you to show me how it’s all so simple.

I’m waiting.
I’m waiting.
I’m waiting to feel what I know.

It’s that time of year. There’s stillness everywhere. You know it’s there, even though you don’t see it — the flow that’s under the ice that shimmers with all the promise of the love that binds us.

I’m waiting.
I’m waiting.
I’m waiting to feel what I know.

Limitless reach of light — sun and moon and memory — the dream that binds lovers tight through time and space and history.

I’m waiting.

Facing what’s been lost while hope glitters and it gleams. Sipping sacraments of love, sweet while they sting. Wishing you were here with me as bells of salvation ring. Letting go of what was then to welcome what the new year brings.

I’m waiting.
I’m waiting.
I’m waiting to feel what I know.

Limitless reach of light
the dream that binds lovers tight

2014 was mostly a very challenging year for me, and for many of those who are close to me. Here’s to an improved new year in 2015!
