Longing Poem by William Kofoed

Longing



A empty need
gnawing inside
of something half remembered
now loss to me

Grasping at memories
slipping so far away
once they were closer
then they were mine

Outside rain is falling
barely wets the ground
now it is too little
and it is too late

Bleak lies the landscape
far as I can see
washed out the colors
faded like memories

Long days spent waiting
endlessly all the same
one just like another
more faded slipping away

Somehow I am needing
what I do not know
empty I am waiting
watching the gray sky
