it’s not the same you know
waiting in line
waiting for the phone to ring
waiting (waiting) for the world to change
tonight I am not passing time
or fostering impatience
I am waiting for news
No – I am weighting for news
time is not passing
time is falling in layers
each one heavier than the last
each one heavy with hope
and uncertainty
I am weighting for the phone to ring
and, yes, for the world to change
Peace,
Milton
Prayers…
“each one heavy with hope / and uncertainty”
so poignant, so evocative. thank you for this honest and beautiful snapshot of the complexity of waiting with our tender, sometimes fearful, hearts, and our tenacious hope for an easy yoke and a light burden.
my prayers are with you and your family.
