where i wait

leaves
on fallen footsteps

walks
in autumn's buried brown

wakes
for all but me

shines
a pale light, blows
a still breeze

for fear of blossoming
to winter leads
your hidden forbidden
love

flings snow,
falls cloud

drenched
depressing chilling mist
obscures my heart from you

you seek? hide not, then

ends cold,
lifts shroud
springs sun
is where i wait for thee
