Waiting For Passage

Seems a lot to ask,

To know just when and why.

We have so many shifts

In this, our anxiety.

A precious few moments

Give us clarity.

In a night like tonight, 

I want it to last forever.

For all the keenness in my mind,

I’d wish for an explanation.

It’ll be yesterday soon,

Oh, the sound does droll on.

I really have to wonder what is next.

Open doors, miles ahead.

That’s when we begin to realize,

We’re still a pawn, don’t be too sure.

One might wish to slow

The process of losing one’s grip.

We all can wish we carry on

With our own.
