The Short One Waits

I work 3 weeks a month in a small town 3.5 hours away from my home and my wife in Denver. Then I'm home for 1 week and back at work for another three weeks.

The Short One Waits

 

Her wild love for me, like a beacon or a torch

The short one waves good-bye from the lonely porch

 

Leaving Denver is never easy but I have to go

The long drive south and east always seems too slow.

 

I like my other home that keeps me for 21 days

People, warm and kind, in wonderful loving ways.

 

They think they need me to lead them somewhere

If they look within they’d find they’re already there

 

But the short one with eyes so clear and bright

Is just too far away, out of my reach on the darkest night.

 

Leaving Denver is hard and never much fun

Just a few more lonely months and I’ll be done.

Dayvid, for some bizarre reason I kept hearing "By the time I get to Phoenix" (all in my head, of course.) Nice bit o' writing.

Cheers,
Dan
