Wistful Rendezvous Won'T Do Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

To pray and wait for wonderful days,
In a wistful rendezvous won't do.
Not when I'm holding onto wonder...
With less time to spare.

Impatient,
I agree I am.
That I am.

I want more in my life,
Than daydreams to mingle.
To leave me single with needs.
I am not one to plead, beg or borrow.
Tomorrow was yesterday for me.
Today I will make my life free...
Of empty dreams!

I am here to explore all there is.
And all there is of me.

To pray and wait for wonderful days,
In a wistful rendezvous won't do.
Not when I'm holding onto wonder...
With less time to spare.

In my mind I can climb any mountain high.
And if I choose to fly above the clouds...
I will!

Impatient,
I agree I am.
That I am.

But wistful rendezvous,
I refuse!
And will not do.
Even 'if'...
You chose me to do it,
For you!
