Time, sitting and waiting,
At sun rise or fall, or between the two,
Nothing anticipating
Acceptance of nothing to do;
But wait.

And the wait
Becomes the doing.

Flowers have bloomed,
Roses have blossomed for weeks now,
Endlessly one after another
Gently perfuming.

And I wait

Tea grows cold for lack of drinking
Lost in a sunrise at noon
Still sitting and thinking.

And I wait

I come off the porch
To get a bite to eat
And wait for and orange sunset to greet.

Soon it will be bedtime
And my thoughts will become dreams,
It might be of a green eyed girl
Walking hand in hand
Over hills
And following small streams
Or of the children I have known
Now all adults
Now all grown

What will my dreams be?

I wait

time is a funny thing, yet time is the only thing that can tell what happens, who dreams what, and who ends up where in life

Now - while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again....

Both time and solitude are certainly the most powerful means to make one introspective. You convey this sentiment exceedingly well in this poem.

Welcome to Piptalk, WW. You have such a gentle way with words and imagery. Easy to visualize and sense...

Tea grows cold for lack of drinking
Lost in a sunrise at noon
Still sitting and thinking.

I don't get here very often, but when I do, I'll try to remember to read your writing. You have such a comfortable style.

A cup of tea in hand reminded me of your poem; thought I'd return to place this in my library. Seems like we're always waiting for something! Meanwhile, my tea cools.
Enjoy the day.
