four am just after the full moon turned to wane
somewhere Before the dawn where sleep should be full With dreams awake and travels sweet
Waiting is never fun and when your heart walks outside of you the wait is even longer
sniffs at the door show signs of return for a dog knows his person and feels them close
I’ve done this before
sat up wondering
praying the door swings open soon
how many times did I wait in his room?
a mother’s lament is never over and the blessings aren’t either
wait with patience and worry won’t darken the path
These lines are beautiful: “…when your heart walks outside of you the wait is even longer/sniffs at the door show signs of return for a dog knows his person and feels them close…” Grief as a waiting that never ends is so achingly perfect.
