Worth the Wait

This loveless life I have built

Teaches me the beauty

Of barren trees and wides expanses

In nothing everything takes life

The caverns grow wide to hold space

In time I will know

The sweetness of the fruit

Brightness of the stars

The heady scent of summer flowers

That will all starkly stand bold

Giving flesh and color

To my desert  wandering halfsoul 

To touch, to taste, to smell, to live again

After such a long repose

Will make all the world beautifully alive

To hunger so deeply makes every meal

A lush banquet of delight

C. Nichols

Good and exactly true write, reaching out for your love and knowing you are going to find it. It will be well worth the wait for someone who loves you and trusts you and you can put your trust in them too. Liked this poem very much.
