The Wait

Lloyd Addison'58Romantic

wait for the girl lately loved with whom fate has hungered

waiting

hastens

fate

for the or alternative awaits the ing T H I N G the weights of wait the love of God more surely assured

waiting to close when in thewonder inside feeling thunders follows white like lightning lithe as rain as night roughly lonesome

litigation takes long and the gates of matters early/late

but two have come too late

perhaps (heart) time out and out doubles outer day breaks somewhere at doubt-turning reason day in night brightens out-extending distance into open outer continuance when resolve is rocked and templed time is a space without entrance an island in transit away

from lonesome sky space

lonesome love has come to visit time-out-waited-out to here
