Don't wait for this new sonnet

It will, but not right now


The waiting is the hardest part, a man
of music lyricized -- and true indeed,
anticipation in its essence can
be known to sometimes force our thoughts to lead
into frustration, e'en if certainty
has been achieved. Because we know our needs
are what we also want, like food and free-
ly breathed air, and crystal water beads
collecting in our cups, our humanness
requires a lover's touch and stroke and kiss,
those things we can envision as we press
existence through its daily pace, the dis-
appointment of awaiting time to pass
like seeing scrumptious meals beneath a glass.
