Waiting Room

waiting for things to change
waiting for things to remain the same
waiting for the world to end
just to begin again
waiting for that kiss
that touch
waiting for my hair to grow
waiting for the wrinkles to trek across my face
waiting to grow old
waiting to grow up
waiting for a friend
waiting for Bobby to come back
waiting for the sun to go down
waiting for the moon to go up
waiting for the mountains to fall
waiting for the valley to flood
waiting for things to get better
waiting for things to get worse
waiting for the car to be moved
waiting for the line to be moved
waiting for someone to do their job
waiting to do
waiting to go
waiting to stay
waiting to know
hoping it is not worse
waiting as the world spins around us
waiting for the news
waiting for hope
and faith
to save us
for this life
and transcend
us
waiting
waiting
waiting
waiting for things to STOP.
