reading my book.
I pause to sip my drink
and glance outside.
The snowflakes
are gently falling.
There is no movement
only the gathering flakes.
I look away in sadness.
I just keep waiting.
It’s all that I can do.
I pull the blanket up.
The wind begins to howl,
the snow falling harder;
the sky gets darker
as nightfall approaches.
I check the clock;
it’s getting really late.
More worry sets in.
I begin to pace.
I cannot see outside now;
all I see is the candle
flickering in the window,
reminding me it’s been too long.
I cannot stand it anymore,
I grab my coat and boots.
I run outside to check.
There is nothing but snow.
I fall into the snow
and cry in despair.
I fear the worst,
but wipe away the tears.
I head back inside
and sit by my window.
My book sits in my lap
not a page is being read.
Early the next morning,
my candle still flickering,
I hear something outside.
I rush out to check.
After everything tried,
tried to keep us apart,
he has returned to me.
I run and hug him.
We head back inside
and I tuck him into bed.
I sit in a chair close by
and watch him sleep.
I leave the candle lit
to help others find home.
A lighted path of love
is the best path of all.
