"The Shadows Of Doubt"

I watch darkness falling down
As hills withdraw their shadows
And the sunset like ochre


Reddens in color
Swallows are at rest for the night
The sea breeze still


Silently whispers
Above me


There are mad bats flying around
Now that the lights are lit
I fear the lurking thieve of my heart


That seek its prey like a cruel hunter
Here are no grass …just longing
And the dust from a lonely dirt road
It looks like smoke…in drifting skyward
Here are no rivers to shelter my wounds
Or to harbor my flowing tears
There are only other people
Jostling home from labor
Herded by dusk together
For days I have been waiting
And you did not come
What happened to you
Where have you been all this time
My heart is breaking into million pieces
How can I handle this
Is this the way it has to be
How could you do this to me
My eyes are searching for you
Every pedestrian or stranger
Or even a traveler a “maybe”… that’s you
But no one see you walking in my mind
Are you here or are you that far away
Maybe that’s why I can’t see you here
Without any shadow of doubt
You do live within my heart
Forever


And for all eternity
Like a shadow
You cover
Me

Beautiful, yearning and sad all at the same time, Tinka. Never let go of your dreams, for if you do, it is certain that they will never come true. Very nice package, Tinka...everything fits together so nicely.
Take care,
Sherry

Maybe the time is not right, for him to journey.
Maybe, you both need to wait a bit
to see when the time is perfect...........and take it from there

this is touching..........and so reaching :)

"You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin’ good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman..."

This is truly a sad heartfelt poem, Tinka. And I truly love this song.
