The Definition of Hope

Missing you
is the definition of hope
Anticipating your strong arms covering my own
And love is this knowing that fear has eloped
With my enemy's sheath, sewn into
their elbows
Pulling their face to dark
As they raise their arms
In worship of a passing crow
I fall into sickened grace
Their thoughts disappear to nervousness 
of wondering
And, now, the peace of loving, 
resting solemn - evermore in your face
