What's waiting when life is eternal...?


Poem Artwork


When?
 
You sweetly smiled and said,
“See you around.”
 
I should have asked,
“When…?”
 
…the sun sets scarlet
…the moon rises gold
…the tide returns silver
…the birds greet the dawn
…the trees bleed autumn
…the geese fly south
…the first snow falls
…the lake freezes over
…the winter starts to wane
…the buds begin to swell
…the swallows return
…the lilacs bloom once more
…the summer’s heat shimmers
…the sun dries the oceans
…the stars fall from the sky
…there’s nothing left of this planet
but galactic dust
sifted from angels' hands
sown throughout the universe
and eternity
 
That seems like an awfully long time;
But I can wait
for you.

My first thought when saw the title, was you've got to decide When? and when the time is right for you, I know you'll make a great choice.

Dear Regis, I certainly agree with everyone here about your poem. Just makes me want to ask you why didn't you ask "when?"!!! Women can never wait; men are more fortunate it seems. Did this come from your life or from your dreams? Did NOT mean for that to rhyme! Love this work of art, or course. Another treasure. Love from Meredith

Nothing you could ever do could me offend,
I think I did read this offering of "WHEN",
At the time I did have a bad toothache,
Making it hard for me to leave a review,
At that time I just wanted to with anvil in my arms, jump into a lake...
Sorry for the lateness, but I was kinda in pain when this first was posted, so if you will, as you are already waiting for this person above, wait a little longer and do so with me too...thanks, Ed ;)

These thoughts tumble in the millisecond it takes to think them, when feelings run this high and this intensely, Regis. A totally breathless and heartstopping write - cleverly broken in the last instance with the turn. Could feel my heart cracking - what a love that is prepared for such a wait! But, as all the L'Oreal hair care ads will tell you "I'm worth it!" (Andi McDowell - not me!! :)) Gorgeous, Regis, APU with you. LOL Kate xx

Reg,

Thank you for giving us the cycles of love ... love goes dormant for a few months as do nature's things and then springs back in fruition. It gives us intermission from one season of love to another to reflect on the things that need to be reborn. It is a good way to live. The never-ending cycle of life-love-death-rebirth.

Sighs...This is a beautiful poem, Regis, filled with romance and hope. Only a fool would stray from a love so devoted and true. Such feelings should not be wasted on one who would be so cruel as to leave one who loves them longing and hoping for a future they have no intention of delivering. Excellent write!
Take care,
Sherry
