We Wait

We wait

and wonder in the waiting.

Is this the time, the place?

Are these the ones who also wait

and wonder if I am the one

for this time and in this place?


We wait

and watch the sun rise each morning,

tracking across the sky till night

and wonder in the waiting.

Will this day be the one

when I hear the clarion call

across the mountains,

the call asking me to come out

and be the one?


We wait

through the dark and quiet night,

waiting for the trackless path

no longer to be hidden from our eyes.


We wait.


Perhaps our best, most precious gift

is the silent, patient waiting

when the darkness seems never

to end or even to become less dark.

Perhaps the time and place we wait

is where we are meant to be,

sharing time and place with those

who also wait.

Thank you, Meenakshi.  Even in the most active of times, to take the time to be silent and await the moment is blessing and joy.
