haiku rant
Shall I share with you
What I really mean to say?
I'm not ready yet.
If you want to know
You must take time to show it
By reading through these
The answer lies here
In these many words cryptic
And yet it is clear
Sometimes the answer
Is something I still search for
I'll not reach my goal
Because what I chase
Is that which I cannot reach
I want the future
To touch it and see
If I'm waiting for nothing
Should I brace myself?
It is exhausting.
I feel dizzy and I weep
We cannot know it
We cannot know it
And we cannot escape it
It is elusive
I have struggled long
Bared so many emotions
Am I over it?
Am I drained of this?
Feeling empty, maybe so
More anxiety
Never running out
I feel like a factory
Too bad it's poison.
Can I replace it?
Perhaps with Joy or with Peace?
if only with love....
But love is not love
It's every feeling we have
Go and take your pick
Every emotion
Seems easier to handle
Than this "endless wait"
It is more than time
I wait for a yes or no
For a pass or fail
Waiting for one time
And not just for any, but
One certain moment
Well, actually,
many moments with such weight
I feel so heavy
Don't let it get you
Don't let it weigh you down, but
What's the opposite?
To live unaware?
To wear blinders through this time
And find I am lost?
This is an extreme
I need to find middle ground
God help this woman
All of my efforts
worries and concentrations
Do not change time's flow
Can I speed it up?
Summon my dreams at a whim?
The answer is no
Now the waiting game
Spontaneously combust?
Yeah, I don't think so
I will bide my time
Be productive, positive,
And keep my eyes peeled
Opportunity
Is a sneaky fellow
Could be anywhere
He plays hide and seek
peek-a-boo and sometimes tag
Go get that sucker
I hope that I'm fast
Hope I'm smart and observant
Hope I don't miss it
If it's up to fate
Hope it smacks me in the face
And says "here it is!"
