Miranda

How swift the waters roll

to and fro

over rocks and ledge

so much

as the journey of love

itself

runs over rocks

and is tossed by the wind

but still

the woman

with the flowing hair

watches the

waves and the water

and thinks of

himself, her lover

and in the turbulence of life

her best friend

and waits for his return

to herself

Miranda

with true love as her goal.

Why I Wait For You

It's the little things you do

That make me wait for you

No one can make me feel

A passion so very real

The way you say my name

The gentle caress of your hand

As you kiss me upon this shore

Writing my name in the sand

A passionate embrace

Or a gentle hug

A tender kiss at the nape of my neck

The soft touch of your fingers on my face

As if to remember every trace...

The way you hold me tightly to your chest

Leaves me feeling so safe, so blessed

The way you gently stroke my brow

Making me feel loved then and now

It's all in the little things you do

That makes my love for you so true

And that is why...I will wait for you
