Waiting Through a Glimpse
Folder:
Poems | 2006 and beyond He gave me a taste
of what I've longed for...
...that for which I've prayed
each and every day.
From my brain,
his face, I couldn't erase,
and the ways in which he played
the strings of my heart
at such a fast pace.
My head spun in a craze,
his presence leaving me phased
stumbling through a haze...
...but really, what could I say?
It's his move to make
and his choice to deliberate,
not mine to take,
as much as I had desired
to take center stage.
The pieces had been played
and I was left alone to stay
with pieces displayed,
no more choices to make,
just thoughts in which to marinate
and the undesirable choice
of forfeiting my estate.
So I continued to wait,
enjoying what I could taste
for the moment...
So I followed the old adage
and set out to release what
may very well have been stalemate.
I chose to smile and hold my head high
all the while, hiding the torture inside;
my own shortcomings that I try
to get over while I work through to
grow as the phoenix rises from the ashes to the sky.
I s'pose in my reflection,
much needed introspection,
I see more than I reveal through these eyes,
understanding more than most might realize;
In my constant quest to shed the negative from my life,
my weaknesses always finding new ways to materialize,
challenging me to rise above the changing tides.
But this time, I truly let go, let God
and I remain to be me,
not changing my behavior, just the
state of my brain as it stands to be,
truly keeping faith that que sera, sera,
whàt will be, will be,
as etched into the heart of destiny.
