Maybe.
In the pit of the night though cold
is curtained and
fittingly covered is my yearning
for thee, some vain
hope decides to unsleep and keep
me wide-eyed 'til
morn again has for certain broken.
When laid low
by memory I find myself clinging
close to thy
pillow and think of that presence
its hollow holds.
At last a slow winning of pale over
grey as dawn's
rosy fingers bid me away, I go to
remain at my
window until tide is high, for this
time it maybe
the one that is bringing thee safe
home again.

GOOD MORNING FAY - ANGELA here (8pm WED evening !) Love the picture that stirred your MUSE *Til the BOATS CUM IN !* The wife of a Deep Sea Fishherman is a fearful & lonely one - cos often they fish at night ! There are more Men Lost @ Sea than this world dreams of. Brian & I are separated but I know he is not in danger from *SEA or SIRENS* and He knows I am keeping all the Male Maoris & Kiwis at arms length ! Ruth & I chaperone each other ! My massages are purely therapeutic ! Please check our Collab on Roses - You will feel the LOVE !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
