He stands in the night,
Listening to the bitter winds,
Not knowing where to go,
Not knowing what is to be.
Yet, he doesn not move,
For the one chance to see
The face of an angel
And look into the deep soulful eyes
That leads him to Heaven.
For it would be Heaven
Where an angel should reside,
It would be Heaven to have her by his side,
But now, he stands in nothingness,
Just wondering where to turn,
Where has she gone,
What has he done to drive her away,
And will she return?
Can his heart last the never ending turmoil
Of not knowing true love?
Can his soul endure the fires of hell
Because she is not here.
Can forever truly be that long to wait
For perfection?
His mind wanders through the darkness,
Repeating all three.
His heart yearns for one thing,
To share this love with her.
His soul shall endure-
His reward of walking through hell
Shall be one more day with her.
And forever is not long enough
For him to love this woman-
This angel that he has discovered-
That the world has left unnotice.
His heart, soul are hers forever,
And forever is not too long to wait.
Robert J Nye (2007)
