Waiting.

Not yet born, waiting, to come out

Not yet dead, waiting, to return.

Still a child, waiting for youth

In my youth, waiting for romance

A glimpse of heaven, as I wait for my love

A glimpse of hell, as I wait to be loved

Clumsily journeying, waiting for experience

Gaining experience, waiting for wisdom

Now an adult, waiting for life as I dreamed

Watching dreams fade, as I wait for the rain.

Too much rain, waiting, for the sun to come out

Oh! Summer scorches, waiting, for a breeze.

Eternally, at time’s Junction

Waiting, for the un-arrived Train.

 

P.S.  This was inspired by Jackie's Blog- Wait for it. Thank you! Jackie. :)

Wow, I love it. Very thought provoking. It makes me think that enjoying the jouney is the way to go.
It has a certain sadness to it. Jackie might be your muse.

As for this wonderful piece.... You took the words I tried to say .. and found them between the cracks... and filled in the spaces I could only hint at. As usual, you can bring to light what so many of us cannot even name. Where is that book ?

Welcome to my abode of words, Esoterika. Yes, enjoying the journey is the way to go. Jackie's writing did inspire these words. :)

Thank you Carol. It comes with practice, the living in the moment and making the best of it. At least thats what I hear.. I have a long way to go before that becomes a reality in my life.

That train will arrive, Rashmi...bet if you listen carefully, you will hear its whistle...but do not listen so intently that you miss the other wonders along the way ;).
