Patiently

by Soyini Denise Liburd



I stand...alone gazing out at the sea so far far away
I look for the one to come home - I search - I pray
Day after day I return
To the spot where my love and I last shared
'Where are you?...quiet sighing'
A trembling voice echoes...there is nothing
I stand alone
I gaze outward at the big, wide, distant sea;
Over the sea the birds fly for each other
Under the sea the fish swim for each other
I stand alone
Me and the big, wide, distant sea
Tomorrow my love will appear
For surely he knows I wait here
The morning fades; night conquers light - despair conquers me
Through the tears I recede with the tide of the big, wide, distant sea
Tomorrow, maybe tomorrow...
For my love I yearn
For my love I must return
Day after day to the spot my love and I last shared
