The Art of Waiting


How could I forget-

The Waiting Place
...for people just waiting
Waiting for a train to go
or a bus to come, or a plane to go
or the mail to come, or the rain to go
or the phone to ring, or the snow to snow
or waiting aroung for a Yes or a No
or waiting for their hair to grow
Everyone is just waiting.
We all wait for something
It's not a passivity
A rather active state actually I have found
How well can you wait
Patient enough not to let it overcome you
Aware enough not to feel unprepared
Keep your waiting in the back of your mind
But only in the back
Till the time comes
And my wait is over
A new life in is place
New new Life
