Eleven o'clock; Quitting time
Another day's struggle for survival
in this cold and lonely world is over
He strides unabated into the
late night chill with resolution
The smoldering coals in his eyes
tell the story of a man broken
but not beaten
The spark of love yet lingers
unforgotten
One hearts defiance against
the smothering oppression of a thousand others
deadened with cynacism
Like a salmon upstream he swims
against the insurgent tide of depression
An outgoing introvert
He is a man little understood by his peers
His weary sigh speaks volumes
of the inner vulnerability he forever conceals
But longs to share
when that one special person comes along
His creativity is matched only
by the passion he holds inside
The raindrops on his car window
transform into a myriad of quivering jewels
Each one speaking to his soul
entering his spirit
Lines of prose in splinter form
He sees the beauty in simple things
the silent art of the autumn twilight
The tinkling melody of laughter
But through all this he is only waiting
Peering through the veil
of facades cleverly constructed
Waiting for that one moment
when love will be finally in his grasp
And peace will descend
upon his aching heart
