forlorn cloaks the night
clouds convening storm
hazy eyes ready to pour
awaiting my love’s return
embracing faith and a
will to wait, but the
distance in between
preponderates
saline drops roll down coldly
in my maw--bitter and biting
i won’t slack my grip
faith is stronger than fate
my will shall linger
until the day you come home
and i know it won’t be long

There is no emotion stronger than "faith"
and not dearer a virtue.
