This is like the view of the right guy waiting in the wings. He's patient and ready to help her heal. Great poem. Thank you so much for sharing. Gretchen

Gretchen, thank you for the detailed review and kind words. You are right, the right kind of man was waiting for her to heal.

Another fine poem, Gypsy----and waiting for someone you love is extremely difficult----watching them make in your opinion terrible choices, trying to keep your mouth shut

Most welcome, Gypsy.

I am guessing from reading this poem that there is person in the sidelines waiting for those tears to end so they can start a relationship with this person. I sure hope so. I enjoyed reading this poem and the package is beautiful.

The one crying is a girl at the end of a painful relationship. The right man is waiting for her to heal so he can start a relationship with her. Is based on a Don Henley song.

Thank you very much for your excellent review.

I guess being able to cry helps to get on the road to mending? I guess if one keeps in the grief and sorrow of loss, or even keeps thinking the unfaithful one will return, then the healing can't happen.

Yes. In my experience, crying is healing. Thank you very much, big sister. I hope you have a wonderful night.

Lovely. Another beautiful, descriptive and haunting piece. The kinship between hazy sun and hesitant lover is clever and resonant. Well done.

This seems to be from the POV of one who cares for the woman crying on the beach. The observer recognized the signs and knows in time the heart will mend.
Thank you for the notes. They are helpful in understanding the form.
