"Thirteen Eyes in the Night"
(c) 1997 J.F. Kelley

I Wait.  My life, my heart on hold;
  (A rosebud waits, in time unfolds.)
I Need.  My waiting needs are clear;
  (The rose needs light when spring is near.)

I Feel.  My feelings sharp and deep;
  (The springtime vines begin to creep.)
I Wait.  In sunset's fading glow;
  (The setting sun melts winter's snow.)

I Fly.  Unbound, my soul will soar;
  (Springtime Sun frees winter's spoor.)
I Long to see your car arrive
  (In spring, all Nature comes alive.)

I Wait.  I Brood, while darkness comes.
  (The crickets crick, as nightime hums.)
I Watch each car that passes by
  (I Watch, I Need, I Wait, I Cry.)

                                 Waiting in the car.
