Waiting
Always keeping one eye on the light
knowing the darkness is here
right in front of us…
Sometimes it’s on my mind
or through the glass
but it is there, still there
The light shines the other way
then comes back around
lighthouse rhythm
On the rocks below
crashing anguished cries
waves reaching high
An unheard prayer
falls back to earth
returned to sender
Waiting for love to return
flowing in a stream
reflects glowing lights
