Absence

So sad; she stands on sandy shore

Her love, it sailed so, out to sea

Upon the waves, under the moon

She smells his being, there on the breeze

 

 

As heart then drops, it struggles long

She falls, to wait, upon her knees

 

 

For he set sail one summer day

With promise to one day return

A year had passed, no word from him

So now her heart, it still there yearns

 

 

She gives not up, her one true love

As deep inside, her love still burns

 

 

A night, a night, she prays he shows

As then her smile will find her face

Until that night, she continues long

For deep inside, no love replace

 

 

She prays for his most safe return

Each night she waits for their embrace
