I Wait

I stand outside the doorway, time passes around me
as I wait for you to invite me in.

From time to time you chance to peer out and visit me,
Tho not but for a moment, only to retreat once again into
the corridors of your world.

I come back, day after day, year after year
to sit and wait once more.

Through the winters of your sorrow, I listened intently.
Through the Summers of your joy, my heart smiled.
Through the Autumn of your yesterdays, I remembered and
the Springtime of your tomorrows, I wait.

Through every season of your life I have waited.
Just beyond the towering walls of your heart.
