Waiting

The picture was of people waiting for something.

“Waiting”


Waiting for what happens next, losing sight of the present.

Arguing with our future about what we rightly deserve.

Intrigued only in what will be, forgetting what once was.

Time slips away unraveling our lives, while eyes see nothing.

Insight lost to bigger and better things that will never be.

Nothing holds our attention like the promise of the unknown.

Grasping for what we will never touch, we drop all we’ve been given.
