What more can I do
naturememorylovemortality
What more can I do
But wait for you
Even as the light fades
In my eyes
The sun sets
With a fire storm
A solar flare
Radiant in cloud burst
Burning through
The end of the day
Turning a circle
Of remembrance
Spinning the last of the light
Into a fine thread
Catching on the breeze
Floating evanescent
Disappearing before my eyes
In that moment
Everything is aglow
In the flickering
You are the flame
There is nothing to do
But wait
Until darkness falls
Perhaps I will see you
A figure
On a distant ridge
Hand raised in greeting
A river lying between us
Flowing fast
Sweeping all away
Until all that remains
Is moonlight
Dancing on water
What more can I do
But remember
To believe
And wait
