Thoughts of You

David Lanier
When you awaken

in the dead of night,

and lie there and

listen and think,

does the loneliness

grasp your heart

with a longing

to have me near?

Or, when you

walk all alone

in the moonlight,

and listen to the

sounds of the night,

do you shed tears,

just thinking of me

as the dawn slowly

comes to light?

When you sit

all alone by the side

of your house,

and the heavens

bring the rain,

do you ever desire

to have me there

beside you again?

When the sun is slowly

sinking in the west

to the tune of

the winds lullaby,

do you ever dream

of me to the tender

refrain of your heart

aching for me?
