Wait….
Mother waits, neonate grins
Flowers wait, the bees spin,
Dew drops wait, pristine dawn,
Groom waits, bridal lawn,
What is life, but a string of endless waits?
Beetle waits, spiders’ claw,
Innocence waits, corrupt guffaw,
Widow waits, bygone way,
A grey beard waits, judgment day,
What is life, but a Sting of endless waits?
Bliss and dolor, the cross of
Like the leaf and the thorn, on a thicket vein
Each can’t stand one another
One is imperfect without the other
I stand await to ask you straight,
“What is life, if there is nothing to wait?”

Very true… Life is nothing but a wait, a long wait.. And this wait ends with death…. Though we know the end, there is no other choice than wait… Beautiful poem…
very true,indeed life is empty without anticipation of desires.
you have an amazing control and I just loved the closing line …..””what”’’s life if there is nothing to wait for””
to answer this all questions we have to wait that day whenyour leave this body
And the ultimate wait is for DEATH, don”t you think?
