turning time


I sat outside your window 
and hoped the light would glow 
without a cry
life’s passing by
and like the day it goes 

through winter’s silent hours 
and spring’s precocious way
my heart has ached 
as if she’d break 
to know what you would say 

the zephyr warmed my face 
as summer ushered in 
long days of fun 
beneath the sun 
before fall rains begin 

each season keeps on passing 
like seaweed on the sea 
beneath the crash 
that’s roaring past 
my heart longs just to be 

I know it’s not forever 
as moments pass me by 
I’ll shed a tear
but stay right here 
you’ll someday heed my cry

the window near my head
will finally open wide 
I’ll see your face 
feel your embrace 
and know that peace inside 

so though the shade is down 
as nighttime follows day
incline your ear
and reappear 
to drive the dark away
