Waiting

Hair like pieces of shimmering golden sun
                        porcelain skin clean and fresh
                        She waits with due patience
                        upon her lover's return
                        controlling tightening, broken breaths
                        His constant journies home will take him too far
                        while her mind wanders dangerous paths
                        And the lost love emerging from hidden ground
                        will it fade too soon to last...
                        The branches are blooming
                        and the soothing water seems clear
                        along this vaguely forgotten place
                        But when the fall's chill arrives
                        to strip the leaves brown
                        Will he remember her softness, her grace?
                        And when the torrential current
                        brings drowning painful rains
                        Will he long for the smile on her face?

                        Or will memories of a warmth
                        now yesterday's perfect bliss
                        be buried under trampled faith
