Go.
I watch the stars hover over my quiet city as I walk home from work. The clouds move quickly and I see the moon. I listen to the silence, breath in, and smile with the stars while I wait for you.
And I keep walking.
Home. I leave my things in my room; wash my face; brush my teeth; check facebook; read blogs; turn out the lights; crawl under the covers; think; dream; wish; wait.
And I keep waiting.
I lie in bed and stare at the black ceiling. I hear rain outside, but it is muted by this faint song — this quiet lullaby I fall asleep to while I wait for you.
Always this song, this song with notes, but no words. | your heart. | It’s the song you’re writing that accompanies the song in my heart. And I listen to this distant song while I wait.
And I keep listening.
It’s beautiful. Someday we will be a beautiful melody. Your rhythm; my rhythm; one song. But for now you’re writing your song, and I’m working on my song. For now there is waiting.
And I’ll keep waiting for you.
Done.
(Prompted by Lisa-Jo at The Gypsy Mama.)
What beautiful thoughts! We are all in a season of waiting aren’t we? All listening to our own personal song, written just for us! Thank you for blessing me today!

*sigh … You have a way with words. There is no doubt about that. I am so proud to call you my sister.
“Always this song, this song with notes, but no words. | your heart. | It’s the song you’re writing that accompanies the song in my heart. And I listen to this distant song while I wait.”
I totally get that. Someday, we’ll have that, and it will be glorious.

I love this! I remember the years of looking up at the stars and dreaming and waiting and wishing and wondering how my story and HIS story were going to connect.
Well done!

Lindsey: Thank you for that… it is definitely an encouragement to remember that I won’t always be waiting and wondering.
