Searching For Orion

She stands waiting

She stood among the prairie wildflowers
The hawk whipped harshly about her
She pulled the cloak tightly about her
But the coldness inside would not abate.

She stood alone for many lost hours
Her eyes cast down and tearful
It was hard not to be fearful
Of the loneliness she did not create

She stood abandoned, lost in the flowers
Not knowing the voice that called her
Not knowing the force that lead her
But in the stars the answers await

She stood amazed in a field of wildflowers
His visage shown so brightly
And it lifted her heart lightly
But inside her Fear made her hesitate

He walked amused above the prairie flowers
His gentle voice wrapped softly about her
His gentle words wrapped softly about her
But the coldness held fast to its estate

They stood together lost in the flowers
As he told her of light and laughter
And from a distance he softly held her
And life inside her started to awake
