I look out through my window, <br />I'm looking for your eyes, <br />I want to hear your voice- <br />Instead hearing my own sighs- <br />I'll send a star to tell you; <br />My messenger he'll be, <br />To tell my loving stories <br />And how my dreams, you'll see. <br /> <br />I'm looking out my window, <br />And I see the Sun is bright; <br />He gives a lovely rainbow <br />And in your eyes makes light. <br />I see a moon in shadow, <br />Half in the dark of space- <br />Holding all the deepness <br />The same, as your night face. <br /> <br />I see all, through the windows- <br />How love is full of light, <br />That shares all of the details <br />That then are hid by night; <br />And waiting by the window, <br />I know that day will come, <br />And all the shade of night time <br />At dawn, will come undone. <br /> <br />So you see, I don't mind waiting <br />Like Earth waits for her Sun, <br />And don't worry then for darkness, <br />Or where the night comes from; <br />For someone must have loved us, <br />And set the stars on high <br />That go missing in the sunlight- <br />But at night, they must come nigh. <br /> <br />And the star-fields, they are plenty <br />Looking out my window view, <br />Counting stars at midnight, <br />While waiting here for you. <br />And soon I'll see a messenger; <br />Another falling star- <br />On his way to tell you <br />I'm waiting- near or far..<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/near-or-far-2/
