The Waiting Game Poem by Chris Cruz

The Waiting Game

Rating: 5.0


Time, friend or foe
I ask myself
In solitude, so maddening
In love, so fleeting

Waiting, a double edged sword
I tell myself
Hopeful to see the light
Petrified to realize the truth

A prisoner in time
I resign myself
When? I cautiously asked
Soon? No one knows

Patience is a virtue that I am short on. We are all prisoners of time. It never seems to be right - either too much or too little. We run in circles like rats in a maze - bumping our heads into the wall until we decide to go another direction. Couldn't there be an easier way? Good write. Linda
