Forever in Wait

She cried him the sea and wove him a net

To catch him should he then fall

Her hand reaching up to couple his palm

And give him the stars and all

She waned and she waxed just biding her time

As she wandered the earthly still

Her heart reaching out and yearning for him

Wishing it was his will

He glided and faded away past the sun

To hide from her shimmering light

He dodged her in effort and slithered on by

To leave her alone in the night

Yet ever she wandered she’d look to the sky

To her home forever will be

And dreamed of the lad that laid in her bed

And brought her back to the sea

She sighed and she cried as the days turned to weeks

Just waiting to hear a small sign

To glimpse in a glance the young man in those pants

That eons promised her mind

She grew colder and colder with the days growing older

Chilling her down to her bone

Yet she patiently waited, knowing he’ll come back

If only to love her in stone.
