knowing in loneliness

knowing in loving

 

She waits

 

balancing the distance

between nowhere and here

 

She waits

 

points on a map disappear as

time nullifies miles and minutes and minutia

 

she wages war against desperation

and wills the waves to stop rolling

 

and waits

 

standing alone as cold winds blow

she feels the warmth of Spring

 

even as the storm rages

she hears his voice

 

whispering

 

Until we meet again
