Wait

Wait for me,
wait--
where the river runs
softly south.

Night will come,
night--
let her let her silver
stars come out.

Stay, my love,
stay--
though the hour goes
two, then four;

Then come, my love,
come--
and you'll never have to wait
anymore.

    The whole night is singing this as her song now. To repeat myself, no one writes love poems like you do, Shay.

    To stop after the river, would've been poem enough. I was on my way.
    Reminded me of the alexi murdoch song~wait
    Played wonderfully in my head to your words.

    You've saved my soul many times, yanno?
    I've missed your lovely prose.

    Something about this verse really catches my eye and ear:

    Wait for me,
    wait--
    where the river runs
    softly south

    Lovely!
