Waiting for Your Return
Stanza 1
Grey clouds hang low across the sky; cold rain soaks through my silk attire.
Yet naught compares to how you weigh—heavy, deep within my heart’s desire.
Stanza 2
I’ve roamed through peaks and valleys far, met countless faces one by one.
Through years and worlds that shift and pass, only you dwell beneath the sun.
Stanza 3
I force a smile, but eyes betray the love that ties my soul to thee.
Stars drift like grief astray; or moon sleeps still, leaving me free—
To wait with rain that falls today, till we share wine from royal cups again...02012026 ©LanZhan
