Waiting

I cry in the night

Hoping you are there

Just to feel your embrace

Or smell your fragrance in the air

My heart is in pieces

Longing for a sign

Am I going to get back together again?

I say with a sigh

I fall on my knees

To you, I plea

Put me back together again

The intimate part of me

So I can love again

And you love me

Of course you never stopped

My Lord and King

I’m a maiden

 In distress

You say you would rescue me

But I ignore the rest

The part where I felt abandoned

Like you soared off

While I worked hard in labor

Wasn’t I your love?

My heart withered more and more

Until I became so weary

But still I worked very hard

Because I knew you wouldn’t leave me

A crackle I heard from a distance

A chirp, chirp I heard up ahead

It was you, My Lord and King

You asked, “Are you ready to be led?”

He told me a story

That it could not be so

He never left me he said

With his voice very low

I couldn’t see him touch him or smell him

But still he was close

He wasn’t there in person

But he told me he still loved me so

I did not understand what he meant

Until he told me these words

My heart was always with you

My love

From the beginning until the end

My heart leaped with joy

 But there was a process

He said

A journey that would lead you through mountains high, canyons wide, and oceans deep

Your heart will restored

Your life set in peace

He said goodbye to me

He will always be in my heart

Watching me nearby

Until we met again

My Lord and King
