knowing in loneliness
knowing in loving
She waits
balancing the distance
between nowhere and here
She waits
points on a map disappear as
time nullifies miles and minutes and minutia
she wages war against desperation
and wills the waves to stop rolling
and waits
standing alone as cold winds blow
she feels the warmth of Spring
even as the storm rages
she hears his voice
whispering
Until we meet again
