Languishing Poem by Sheri Green

I lie within the shadows of the night as solemn winds
whisper thoughts of you

Fleeting memories dance about the reveries of my mind
as I ponder this all-consuming restlessness

Such desolence do I feel in the winter of your absence
I lie in deepest thought, pining away with senseless grief

The hollows of my soul are touched by the sunlight that is you

Oh, how I grieve in your absence
Such wretchedness I have never encountered

For in your absence, my heart sings not

But I shall wait patiently, with a silent tear, until once again
you take me into your arms - the place I cherish most next to Heaven
