Whispering Night

By: Sara Lynn Zuidema

I am standing by
while you pass with the wind.
I can hear your voice
as it echoes through my head again.
I open up my arms
to hold you so very close.
I have given all I have
and for love it shows.

You are the whispering night
as I lay down.
When I close my eyes,
I can feel your presence around.
You are the shadow
that follows so near.
You are the one...
that I hold dear.
But if love is not to have you,
I need you here.

I have this aching feeling
that is starting to fall
into a bottomless pit
with all of my un-answered calls.
I have all that you want.
I can give you what you need.
Just open up your window
and this is what you will see.

You are the whispering night
as I lay down.
When I close my eyes,
I can feel your presence around.
You are the shadow
that follows so near.
You are the one...
that I hold dear.
But if love is not to have you,
I need you here.
