While We Wait Poem by Raj Arumugam

While We Wait

Rating: 3.5


There's that moment
that slides away
The seconds that escape

Often whole years glide past
while we look down a while

There's time that we think
will never flow, not move
but it all eats the wall and floor

The best you can do
is to be occupied
The best I can do is look
at what the tip of an umbrella might show
