Leave the light on

Just words.

                         Leave the light on

Been one year now. We said goodbye on a cold Winter day and I remember I told you.

I will leave the light on, my love. You have a safe place to go my wandering lady.

Hard days, hard life and twisted wishes made us forget. We need someone to love us.

I remember your tears and your last words.

Please forget me. I am a cold hearted woman who cannot settle and I am a runner.

I remember I brought you close and I whispered to you. I will leave the light for you. When you are

tire of running. You have a safe place to rest and I am here for you.

You wow me with such lines, Coyote. This poem is a song of unconditional love. Women need it and thrive on it. Some are runners, but they need this love too. A favorite poem from you, again.

I simply love your beautiful stories John. They resound like a sad piece of music in my head.

Thank you Ken. I appreciate the kind words.

What a lovely story this is....for a man to tell a woman he will wait for her is so special. She knows she always has you and she knows she can roam till she wants to come back to you. This is truly love that lasts a lifetime. Wonderful, John. Lydi**

Thank you Lydia. Back in 1992. I left a light on for a year. Maybe our way to keep hope alive.

This is beautiful Coyote.
So many women run away for whatever reason, but few know it's ok to come back.
Really nice.

Thank you Ana. It seem one person cannot stay and learn too late. Held love and lost her.
