We Are Waiting Poem by Sadiqullah Khan

We have heard, you are somewhere shining,
That we shall wait. That the moon takes time
To turn full, and that the night, although long
Shall end up in dawn. That, beyond tempora!
Reckoning shall come, and till then we breathe.
There is nothing as auspicious, nothing worth,
Since we have been on a promise, sans happen
-ings. We have a longing, and we are waiting.
