Waiting

• Will you start the day now?
• Time can only cradle you
• for so long, your body so
• heavy with duty and obligation.
•  
• The questions tugging at your soul
• can wait; she will be there
• at the end of the day, and if not
• perhaps tomorrow – well at least
• you have yourself.
•  
• And if not that, well,
• time will be waiting,
• poised like the sliver of a grin,
• ready to swing your life away.
