the waiting

grey light upon sleeping fields
the stillness I have come to love
time and tide cease surcease
peace sits like a glove
shadow sifts like memory
the dogs stirs at his chain
and whines and lifts his eyes
for the walk he knows we'll take
though storm clouds steal the skies
and grey light curtains into rain
so waits the world tonight
in darkness and in pain
the world waits for christ

Ade, you make my life complete. But you know that! I am a voracious compliment eating machine.

But there are degrees of complimentary voraciousness! I'm off the scale.
