The waiting

Author: Oceanzest

In the small half-light
where shadows fall
I saw you walking
ever tall
ever unsure
whether to come home
from the fields
where you do roam

Why do you wait
incessantly
to fix a date
where we will see
your presence here
is what we miss
so lonely times
I can dismiss

Oceanzest nice intriguing poem. Never look back day of night cause you'll only find your shadow following you... SM

Our shadows are always with us.
We always have company, our shadow.
