Long since <br />these hands <br />have bent <br />North or South. <br /> <br />They lie <br />by my side <br />in repose <br />awaiting a <br />single kiss <br />to lighten them <br />for holding. <br /> <br />Long Since <br />this heart stirred <br />to life <br />enlivened by <br />a Coming You. <br /> <br />These legs <br />can carry <br />my weight <br />strengthened <br />by my patience <br />which <br />is Long Since <br />bent <br />toward <br />Rainbows <br />which never end. <br /> <br />I am now <br />in my <br />Nothing House <br />waiting <br />for my life to begin <br />and my faith is <br />that it soon <br />shall, <br />and this <br />time <br />will <br />have <br />Long <br />Since <br />Gone.<br /><br />Lonnie Hicks<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/long-since/
