And he waited for the pewter skies to turn crimson
the thunderous clouds to calm,
the deluge to stop,
the storm to abate

And he waited for her genuine smile to radiate,
the heartfelt words to sate,

And he waited for the times
when unstated bond conjured more meaning to any stated covenant

And he hoped his hope will triumph and stand any test of time
