the long wait



The long and winding road... 
in front of me
the sun...below the horizon
painting the sky

reds...oranges... golden ambers...blues
and the murky gray of wispy clouds
the road rose and fell...twisted and turned
like a child's roller coaster

she waited
long flowing ebony hair
brown eyes 
seeing only me

my eyes
hazel neath brown hair
seeing 
only her

our lives
together
waiting for the long and winding road..
to take me to her

  5. This was very romantic, GSB. It had a sense of sadness in it for me, just a tinge but there lurking in the background. Thanks!

  7. When I set off along the road I had brown hair. Now it's grey and I still have a long way to walk - well, hopefully!

    1. gray hair is better than no hair or even worse --looking up from the wrong side of the dirt.
