Waiting

By:Sarah Wood

Days like the tides- in, out, in out

Earth spinning beneath my feet, sometimes slow, yet always moving

Reach out, grasp, plead, beg: but not yet

All hours on guard, watching, listening, and thankful for patience

Explosions, bombs, violence, worry, but soon enough to subside

Imagine your face, expression, look of joy to match mine

My heart is yours, given freely and fully

Anticipate what is to come, but for now... waiting.
