While I Wait
I wait
again…
will this
never let up?
The story begins
before I arrived
another
unwanted
disturbing
mistake
of another
one of us
too ill
so young
all alone-
It will continue
long after
I am
going
going
gone…
Yet for me
today
again anticipating
the Connection
Knowing
all along
it could be
is already
but
will not appear
today.
Again.
I am
getting better
though
at rejecting
disappointment
and choosing
instead
to ride the wave
Strong
and patient
as all
that I am
can be
on this
Sea of Life.
Perhaps,
one day
I will leap
from this wave
leave
the surface,
dive in
with confidence
and Grace
like a swan
to the very
depths
of the Sea
in me
To know it
as me
the Sea
for I have
merely dared
to glimpse
eyes squinted
against the glare
of sparkling jewels
buried
hidden
beneath
this wave
this surface
of the Sea
still
waiting in me.
