I Wait In The Shadows

The lavender pink skies of a southern spring sunset lay peaceful upon my mind.

I sat in the silence on the edge of the field and watched the white tailed deer play.

I dreamed full and teary eyed of the future and its joys that will play out in time.

And I longed in my heart for the speedy coming of that day.

The birds soon fell silent as the last rays of the setting sun winked goodbye.

I pondered many things and I felt only the goodness well in my heart so right.

As the darkness fell upon me, its gentle hand touched my shoulders and I sighed.

Another day has come and gone and I wait patiently…ever so patiently for the next mornings beautiful rise.
