I Only Need Wait

the whispers of morning
waken the cotton in my eyes
the scent of heavy fog
hangs upon the air
and moistens the shoulders
of creatures out there

a semblance of trees
hovers nearby
while soundless stirrings
are kept behind a misty curtain
trapped in droplets
drowned from ear’s detection

the visible movements
are as silent as cat’s paws
upon pavement
echoed only in shadows
reverberating in silhouettes
marching noiselessly
in rhythmic stitches
across the landscape

if it were not
for the hum of mechanisms
at hand,
I might think deafness
had played its trump card
and stolen my sense away,
but I know
I only need wait patiently
for the morning to lift its head
and burn away
the night’s coating,
bringing with it a clarity
that reaches all my senses

I only need wait

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

I only hope that you don't have to wait as long as I sometimes do, to have my senses cleared! haha

I really enjoyed this piece. I was visualizing and internalizing your words as I read them!

~ From this poem, I'd say, you most definitely have clarity of thought!
