Down here at the edge of the day,
Somewhere around the place where
The sunset kisses the ocean;
This is where I stand, waiting patiently
For the moment you will arrive.
I believed deep down that the words
Dancing from your lips, matching your sway,
Were as true as the clouds in the sky;
This is why I wait here, patiently
For the moment you will arrive.
The sunset has fallen below the line
Of the horizon set before me,
Darkness laying out her thick veil;
I watch this as I stand here, waiting patiently
For the moment you will arrive.
I hear footsteps on the path, quiet, soft
As you approach me from behind,
Whispering those words to me again;
I stand here, eyes closed, waiting patiently
For the moment your kisses arrive.

Sis, this is so beautiful! The imagery is such that I feel as if I am the one waiting. The repetition of the last line in each stanza makes such a powerful, yet soft, impact on the reader. Beautiful words from a beautiful heart! Hugs, Patricia ♥
