50 Years Of This
 

For years I longed for you
Needed you...
Not even knowing what...
Who
Nor where you were

Some echo in my being
Some feeling

Deep in my heart

Large you grew
Gnawing
Entertaining

A craving

First...

I felt you move
Watched you come to life
And live...

A miniature me
And some parts him.

And I learned...
Love...

Still,

That 'Feeling'
Called to me

Come here
Be free


I will answer your every prayer

Serve me...


Selfishly,
I declined
My search redefined

25 years of this...

I began again...
Not looking back

Til then...
When over the horizon
He cast his
Sterling pen...

And darkness came...


5 more years of this
Which I served well

Not looking back...

For a moment
I was a thief
Twas beyond belief

And love lay spent

40 years of this
And I thought
No more

There is no more white butterfly
I shall say Good bye
As all things end

Yet 50 is around the bend
And words still come

My heart still yearns
And I have not died...

Though some days
I lay and cry...

For love that does not serve
And dreams...
Maybe I do not deserve

Yet I call to you

You
Spiritual being

You blessed thing

How many more years
Must I endure

Of what
Can I be sure...
After 50 years.
