Longing
One wave after wave of longing.
Short shallow breath,
between each powerful wave.
Danger of drowning, in floods of tears.
Swearing and spitting out the pain,
with the word damn over and over.
Never again to be the same.
Impossible to forget loving people,
or warm memories.
My tender heart rips,
with a heavy impact to my spirit.
Longing, a word that cannot be less.
A terrible feeling that hits the soul,
that’s the meaning of longing.
Welshman or Welsh woman,
having sung several hymns at a funeral,
will understand the depth of the word
longing.
