Waiting, waiting, waiting on waiting

This is a poem I wrote a few years ago which seems even more important in these covid times.  So.... I've recorded myself reading it

Waiting. Waiting

Waiting on waiting

Life's next adventure

Could just be passing

Rather than waiting

I should be squeezing

Every opportunity coz

Life's to be living

But life's not like that

Not mine anyway

I'll hit a stop sign

Sometimes literally

Road diverted

Route disrupted

Traffic light red

Danger ahead

Again I'm waiting

Waiting on waiting

For answers to questions

For new life solutions

Sometimes the waiting

Involves a slowing

(Might look like waiting)

If you're not concentrating

But in this waiting

There's action brewing

Internally learning

Adjusting my living

In the waiting

I'm learning

I'm growing

I'm living
