linger

I spent many days and nights
waiting for your arrival
but hopes are starting to
fade like sun in autumn
 
perhaps you will arrive
like a bright spring morning
or under golden brown leaves
 
I can only hope and dream
though doubts still linger

  6. You're going to need to do a follow up, because this makes me want to know if they came!

  8. Maria,
    Doubts invading hopes: the age old curse of one who waits. I love the mixing of desire and dreams that create expectancy.

  11. I can identify with these feelings. Sometimes what we wish for most seems like a faraway dream, but that's no reason not to keep on dreaming.

  12. We all need hopes and dreams - nicely written Arcadia.
