Waiting

Moments pass in endless prattle,

Rigid backs against the wall

Without a clue of who to turn to,

Waiting for the sky to fall.

 

Not one soul to lend an ear or

Seek a favor, friend or foe.

Once secure, now taught to fear for

Silent threats that come and go.

 

Surely, there must be an ending

To this cloak of endless night.

Flip the stone of glimmer’s fortune

That will usher in the light.

 

Teach me, help me to relearn

The confidence that we all knew

When flowers burst in brilliant hues again

In fields where once they grew.

 

Take us to that land of plenty

Where no care would dare remiss.

Waiting patiently with longing

For the phantom world of bliss.
