The Shadow
The Shadow

While standing on a hill,
I see a shadow coming toward me.
I've waited for this an eternity two times over...
When time would stand still.

The shadow comes closer to me,
And visions rush through my brain.
My dreams, my hopes, my destiny,
I all so clearly see.

He reaches me now,
My heart all a flutter.
But he all to lovingly calms me,
With his cordial gentile bow.

I cannot fight it!
My love for him is too strong.
Nothing he could do could calm me wholly,
For of him I've been too forcefully struck for too long.

Now, our eyes meet.
His sparkling brown eyes flashing in mine.
And he sees the sparkle in mine, too.
Now our hearts move to the same beat.

The time has come.
The sparkling eyes close.
Closer and closer together our hearts move,
And our inner peace is like a dove.

In that destinal moment,
We both realize the sacrifices made.
I had gone to great lengths,
To make this blessed covenant.

I had given up the days of my time,
To make my dream come true.
So he felt the congenial wish and love,
To make this destiny mine...

Then, my eyes open to the sunlight.
But, he is not with me.
Only a dream.
Just hoping was not enough might.

But oh, what a dream!
To look up at him with adornment.
To see his raven black hair.
And to laugh at his hat of wool green.

Will it ever come true?
Only destiny can answer this question.
And, if I could, I would;
Give destiny a helping hand.
To make my shadow on the hill come out of my mind.
