Waiting for You


 I met a girl, and she opened my eyes.

I wanted things I never wanted before.

She shared stories that I never knew existed

Tales I never could have imagined.

When I awoke she was nowhere

Out on the front porch, I noticed a glow on the horizon

I knew what I had to do

I rode off into the frontier.

As the years went by I grew in knowledge and wisdom

I could tell by the feel of the wind when it was time to go

One great adventure after another, she always led me

It was a cool evening and  I saw her walk by

my creativity surged with no limits

but then I turned to look and again, she was gone.

As the years go by I find that I need to push forward on her memory and what she showed me

Every time I see her, I watch and miss her knowing she will disappear

Our encounter becomes more of a deep well giving water endlessly only if I strive to remember.

Today I have to search inside and look for ways to bring her into my day.

Some are crafty deceptions, some are close encounters with her

Together, these make me possible, pushing forward. Ever pushing forward.
