Waiting to Soar
I’m waiting…for tomorrow’s sun…for the rainbow’s somewhere…for truth’s consequences…for the stars to grant my wishes…for my turn to cross troubled water’s bridge…for a glimmer…for a sign…for a hero…for angels…for the best, yet to come…for the impossible dream…for a snowball’s chance…for justice…for peace…for the other shoe to drop…for people to wake up…for someone to give a f- …I’m waiting…feet planted firmly, rooted in fear, dogma, culture, tradition…a girl can dream.
excruciating, the wait,
baited shallow breath, fading
cruel, fickle mistress, Hope,
eternal spring seductress,
fluent in vain sweet nothings
settling for dross
soaring wingless on what if’s
nothing ventured gained

Kat, this is so poignant and real to me. I’m also waiting… maybe we should just do our thing and pass the rest of them up. That way we can enjoy our lives the way we want to live them! You know what I’m talking about… This hit me like a ton of bricks. Excellent! ❤

I do know what you’re talking about…as you know my behind the scene. ❤ I agree with you. Walking on eggshells just makes a mess. 😉

So true. It’s better to be alone and have peace. Thank goodness my hubby feels the same way. ❤

Unfortunately Kat I think you have a very long wait, and I see no sign of hell freezing over yet!
However, meanwhile, this is excellent!

Haha…I missed one…”Waiting for hell to freeze over!” I’m afraid you’re right Peter. But like I said. A girl can dream. 🙂

Reblogged this on Pastor Michael Moore's Blog and commented:
Poignant as I walk with folks through the Valley of the Shadows (dying, cancer, various health and dementia related issues)… this touched my heart, Kat ❤️❤️
