Waiting for God at
Posted: December 19, 2014 Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... 24 Commentsyou’ll love
you’ll lose
and let go
then love again
and sometimes even better than before
if along the way you somehow managed to grow
but taking into account the odds
you’re bound to lose once more
however, by this time, it shouldn’t be as difficult for you to move on
but if so, then a kind of sorrow soon follows
still, as long as man lives, man hopes
and so you’ll go on
waiting for your god to grant the mate your soul longs for

Wonderfully said, Sir. I’m Kerry, a poet who lives in St. Augustine, Florida, and your words make me think of one of my poems…

MOURNING DOVE 2005
Break it to me gently
Please, emit one moan;
And let me know, ahead of time
Before you have to go.
Echo with your painful song
Tell me what you feel today
What has come to interfere
Why must you go away?
Where do our lives take us–
Prepare me for the sorrow.
Be the one who finds me here…
The one who comes tomorrow.
Be the one I care about–
Don’t leave me here this way.
Tell me of your quiet thoughts
And why we cannot play.
You no longer sing the song
There’s something you can’t say.
Be the one who hears me
Be the love I’ve waited for.
Mourn for me, my little dove:
You must not move along.
Take my sweetest offering
And open up your wings.
For no-one here can hear me
None can sing
What you can sing.
Love comes once
And only once…
I’ve known you since I was born
No one here, can sing like you
And none, like me, can mourn.

The poem seems to cover much more than waiting for a mate of a communion with true love. The question of unanswered prayers(usually they are answered in ways we don’t perceive and better things are granted than which we had hoped for in God’s plan), frustration, worry, and resentment are relevant as well by the poem’s theme.
