Waiting Game

FredPeyer

There comes the moment when

What I have to say has been said

What I have to do has been done

 

Traffic is bad, a car backfires

Young girls totter on high heals

I wait motionless

 

Time loses all its meaning

Eternity is a real possibility

Not some abstract construct

 

The cat is staring

Out the window

I stare into myself

 

What for I don’t know

It is a waiting game

A contest between hope and courage

 

A bird serenates his female

Who is not paying any attention

I simply wait

 

Facing the outcome alone

Remembering everything

Regretting nothing

    Sometimes it's the right time to just look out from a window. Another time we will find ourselves looking into our soul. It's surprising what we can find when we look.

      Thanks Dusk!
      Looking into your own soul can be either scary or exhilarating.
