Waiting

I know the trees do quake and shiver,
Their leaves silent in their wake,
As they gaze in idle and await,
For the glowing moment on my screen does appear an image,
For a wish to embrace.

So time ticks on and I grow strong,
For a heart is my only want till dawn,
So here I'll wait for the time,
When you emerge from your life afar,
To spend some time with the girl across the sea.

Green eyes affixed to the screen,
Silent gaze in eager pain,
For moments,
Minutes,
For words exchange.

So love and trees sit,
Watching,
Waiting,
Quiet in the night,
For your return and your care.
