I will wait however long it takes
and if what I await never should appear
I will have waited for naught

And I will shield my frail eyes away from that terrible sun
to stare longingly into the abyss from whence I believe you originate

For a shimmer... a slowly dissipating hope
I will wage my life
and I will kneel to a shred of a chance
beg for a sliver of light to show you the way
and then
I will close my eyes
turn my face away
and just wait
