Image: Anticipation on the Quiet (here)

a young maiden
dreaming in the heat 

of  late afternoon
clinging against hope
clasping for strength
her beauty only for him
yearnings lost in time
up against gathering storms
building up
bidding for a good omen

a sign of awakening
an offering nonetheless

she with bated breath
looking up to Heaven's norms
seeking  into the distance
faithfully prying

waiting with listless quiet 
anticipating

rise and come back to me!
