A heart waits

 

 

 

 

A heart waits...

 

While sifting through the questions

piled high in a mountain of doubt,

reaching heights beyond belief

and scraping ceilings of torment

 

A heart waits…

 

Now tiring quickly, losing strength,

finding the walk longer than you expected

Closing one eye to find the other does not see

and falling to dark corners of fear

 

A heart waits…

 

As volume amasses upon weakened shoulders,

and pain breaches the avenue

of store front sale signs

on locked door close outs

 

A heart waits…

 

When it all seems too much,

memos become lists of forever paper,

words scratched in blood ink

of empty pens spilling

 

A heart waits…

 

If you have found that point

where your mind says no more

and you feel that nothing will ever be enough,

please remember…

 

A heart waits…and that heart is mine

This piece reminds me of the greatest love poem that was ever penned.

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
Love never fails.

A heart that waits is a love that never fails.

[Jack...]

Neil, your review is greatly appreciated and says everything I tried to convey in the poem beautfully. Your review is a poem in itself. The one thing you left out was, love does not judge. Thank you my friend.
