Sit and Wonder
As I sit next to the calm lake before me, I think
"What would I change in the river if I could?"
Would i take it stillness and swirl it into choas?
Would I cause life to grow everywhere it could?
Or would I drain it of life, so it would not be problematic?
In fact, I would do none of these
I would not change its calm surface or what dwells beneath
The life that grows
Grows at its own pace and I will wait for it to grow
The problems it suffers will always have a solution regardless of size
It's cool calm surface will one day be something to miss
For when storms and rains come to shake it
The Calm will be missed
So anxious I sit and wait to see what is to come
What life will spring forth from its dark bottom
What beauty and wonder cold come from such a thing
My breath becomes almost as still as the lake's surface
Waiting for a response from the depths
So much quiet and serenity
My heart cannot help but race at the thought of what could come
Yet the instant something does show
I know I will go into a silent panic
I will not be able to react or express the emotion deep inside
For I know what is to come might be something spectacular
Something so unbelievable
At times I am skeptical that it could even happen
Even now, my reaction is gone
I can only hope that at my surface
My true feelings for what is to come can be seen
I can only hope that the winds blow in my direction
Too long I believe the lake has been calm
The longer I sit and wait
The older I grow
The more time seems to slip away
The further my dream of tomorrow seems to get
But until the day it is lost
I will wait and listen ever intently to what may lie beneath the surface
To what might be under
I am ready for anything
Anything except a maybe......
What was today, came and went like a summer's rain fall. In an instant the heat and light left for a second. It began to rain and everything made so much sense, everything seemed to fit. In a second my heart beat raced and became relaxed. All i could smell was the cool rainfall, all I could see was the beautiful sky behind an even more astonishing view, all I could taste was every word I wanted to say next, all I could hear was the music of my life and an angel whispering the sweetest lullabye before I slept, all I could feel was the presence of hope for another sunset, another walk, another chance to maybe not panic under pressure.....
