sentinel.

will you wait for me?
as i wander aimless, slightly lost
my hair catching brambles and moonbeams
dandelions fronding through tangled strands

will you wait for me?
barefoot and unsteady i travel,
tiptoeing around the sticky parts
crunching through the thin ice with glee

will you wait for me?
my wild heart demands other passions
far flung and spice-scented
from trade routes only the feral can follow 

will you wait for me?
i am faithful, in my own way…
which includes the wholeness of myself
tattered and earthstained but no less yours

will you wait for me?
my dreams shiver with your kiss
and i carry a spirit large enough to fill a world,
yet small enough to fit inside a palmed pebble

"tattered and earthstained but no less yours." Love that!

ah you have such genius lines - "and i carry a spirit large enough to fill a world,
yet small enough to fit inside a palmed pebble" - that second one - how I wish I could steal it lol it's a travesty you haven't got more reviews on this piece - you mix the subtle scenes of nature with a more philosophical standing - "only the feral can follow" - just gems everywhere! nice!!

Your metaphor for such a topic is outstanding! This is sublime work, wonderful! xx
