Waiting For You

I never knew...
you caught the stars
that held my wishes;
once sparkling with hope,
far beyond my reach. 

Or that you overheard
the secret desires
I whispered to the moon;
echoing in the night,
across the midsummer skies,
so long ago.

Should I have known, you,
would gather the lost dreams,
that used to light my path,
until they would awaken
in the warm shelter
of your arms?

Did my heart always know,
I was waiting...for you...

"I sleep but my heart wakes
to the voice of my beloved
that knocks, saying, open to me."

The song of Solomon, chapter 5, verse 52
