An ode to a lover - waiting forever

The forest path, the barren trees

The crunches of dry fallen leaves
A gust of wind, a nip in the air
The birds flying to the southern sphere

          I am waiting, I am waiting

          My love for you I am waiting.

My log cottage is covered with snow

I trudge weary steps to my door
A cup of coffee, lonely days …
The logs crackle in the fireplace

I am waiting, I am waiting

          My love for you I am waiting.

A window seat, laced curtains fly

A gentle breeze kissing the sky
Butterflies flying from bough to bough
New leaves, new fragrance, alls new though .....

I am waiting, I am waiting

          My love for you I am waiting.

A thirsty day, a parched up land

A trickling stream, burnt up sand
A ghostly silence fills up the noon
A stillness prevails over the dune

I am waiting, I am waiting

          My love for you I am waiting.

The raindrops on my rooftop fall

A music unending, toad’s mating call
The torrents overflowing the river’s brink
Paper boats sailing, islands sink

I am waiting, I am waiting

          My love for you I am waiting.

The jasmine blooms in all its glory

Magnolias unfold a secret story
Cotton puffs sail the sky blue
Green grass bathes in morning dew

I am waiting, I am waiting

          My love for you I am waiting.
