Drifting


Time goes by and I tread in the shallows and listen....waiting.  I'm here hoping to feel your soft touch or warm embrace. I need you to give me a knowing glance or just a reassuring nod.  Or reach out and take me into your hands, breath into my ear, and kiss my face once more.  Then set me free.  I'll drift out with the tides, through the marsh and reed, and then back to stormy seas.  I'll be here waiting...always waiting.
