"Voice of the Night"

Have you ever wanted something, dreamed of something and then finally found the elusive person or thing that you had been dreaming of for so long?  This poem explores the faith that it takes to pursue a dream, the openness to various possibilities, the acceptance of the very real consequence of never realizing this dream, the uncompromising belief in the dream and the committment in time and emotion required.  Please join us at the end of this poem to share your thoughts and experiences.

Been waiting so long
for this moment with you,
a walk in the park,
a chance for today
to dance in the rain.

Been waiting so long
For this moment with you,
Melting away the cold of the day
Sitting beside the warmth of a fire
Watching the light flicker and play ...

The voice of the night
Has been calling my name
For so very long
In so many ways ...

And only by dreaming
Constantly scheming,
Have I been able to wait
Til I spend time with you.

Been waiting so long
For this moment to come,
Been dreaming of you,
Wishing on stars,
Since I was young.

Been waiting so long
For this moment, it's true,
And now that it's here,
So incredibly near

Can you hear what I've heard all along?

The voice of the night
Has been calling my name
For so very long
In so many ways ...

And only by dreaming
Constantly scheming,
Have I been able to wait
Til I spend time with you.

Didn't think you were real
Just in my head ...

Didn't think I could feel
This way instead ...

 ... Of empty and lost

With nowhere to go

No place called home

No one who cares

Or with whom I can share

Been wishing on stars
For so very long,
Hoping and praying
That you'd come along

Been waiting for you
Been waiting so long ...

Been spending my time
Dreaming of you,
Day after day
Much the same way ...

Drifting away like a cloud in the sky
Way up high with the ground far below,
Chasing snowflakes as they dance on the air
In hopes that one day, the seeds that were sowed

Would blossom and grow ...

Seems crazy, I know,

Am I out of my mind?

Constantly scheming,
Wishing and dreaming

Of spending my time with you.
