MIssing a Piece

A missing piece

 

The days seem much longer; the minutes stretch on forever.

The clouds grow darker, despite the fair weather.

Walking is even harder, it seems breathing may cease;

The puzzle of my life is missing a piece.

 

Patience is strained while I stand looking from the door,

Waiting; just waiting for that which I adore.

The faithful have been waiting for thousands of years;

But is my anguish no less; the wound is still fresh; as my cup fills with tears?

 

I know healing will come when you’re headed this way.

Your smile is as Will said; as lovely as a summer’s day.

When bestowed upon us mortals, it fills the great hole.

For each of us has something missing; for me it’s my soul.

 

Then you appear as my heart had foretold.

Your head held so high; your countenance so bold.

That sparkle in your eyes has a two pronged effect,

To thrill or terrify; regardless, it commands my respect.
