The Weight of Waiting #Poetry #Journey #Waiting

“Waiting is the hardest part”
they say
I think I might agree
I’ve been waiting
for what seems like forever
even though it isn’t even ten years
Heartsick from deferred hope
as Solomon would say
doesn’t help the waiting
The longing like a weight
I lay it down at your feet
