Often I look towards you hoping you will be there smiling with crows feet
Eyes sparkling happy to know I am there searching
Shielding sun from my face and allowing the wind to kiss me swiftly
Over the horizons I gaze into distances I stand
Hand shadowing my eyes in a casual salute that's comforting
Expectantly I wait with a secure surety
I know you will be there
Despite withering and drowning into the realms of ambivalence
At times falling and sinking the pavement becoming quick sand
I wait for you
Always you are there watching at a standstill and abiding
Guarded stiffly ready on full alert
Demanding respect and attention but especially some acknowledgement
For being there always hidden in the penumbra
You wait for moments where you offer some guidance and comfort
Assured security you be
You wait
Bringing to remembrance the times when it was clearly you
That took control intervening appropriately
Working and moving behind the scenes with a mental nimbleness
My supersonic hero
Promptly coming to the rescue
Working and moving behind the scenes with a mental nimbleness
My supersonic hero
Promptly coming to the rescue
Bringing to me a deeper insight of things
Or just doing what you do best and defend me in the spiritual
Generally I do not notice at first
But as weeks and months fly by I look back and reflect
Pressing play and rewind
Thankfully it was you that was there waiting
Just for me.
