Waiting

Waiting

she didn't blink,
didn't turn,
sit or
walk away,

she didn't
sigh or
complain,

She waited,
and waited.

With each sunrise, till the sun went down,
With each sunset, till the stars shone,
with each full moon, till the darkness engulfed,
She waited,
and waited.

Darkness came and went,
The Sun rose and set,
pictures faded
but
she waited,
and waited

for him
to come home
to nest

little did she know
he had already
found
his nest.
