There is black remorse
inside every breath
the millionth minute bows
and I still have no voice

Keeping still between music
coochie coo
no laughter jolts me
from how i statue my words

White calm songs of comfort
i hide away for recovery
and not before
heavy apology dawns.

Live every moment in time like it's your last, because after those minutes pass, they can't be brought back again... So when you wait, do it with all your heart, not as one who is dying for a lack of something in the future, but as one who is content with what she has today. And then the "black remorse" disappears...

Sorry for rambling on. Just some thoughts after reading this one

“We are all travelers in the wilderness of this world, and the best that we can find in our travels is an honest friend.” –Robert Louis Stevenson

You can wait the way a nest waits for the bird's egg to arrive, or you can wait the way a golfer waits for his ball to arrive in the cup.....

I suggest the latter.....

A nice read -- worth waiting for....
