She felt the yearning -- the bittersweet aching The gnawing sensation -- the quivering of wanting Love's hunger throbbed deep within her belly An impassioned rhythm that tormented her daily Long she waited for her husband's return Feverishly she nursed love's long slow burn Finally -- her phantom soldier returned to flesh Torridly embracing -- they danced flesh to flesh Ecstatically -- they clung together in glorious celebration Enraptured -- they clung together in blissful communication Copyright © 2009 by Gwen Dickerson All Rights Reserved.

Distance does make the heart grow fonder.
Or is there more to this dream "phantom soldier" then meets the eye?
Well done indeed...
