wait - waiting wondering waiting anticipating
looking at a firecracker’s burning fuse
burst of joy gray clouds singing blues fun cruise
the fuse sputters another is lit then falls apart
waiting for joy – what will get that weight off her heart?
what even can that onerous burden be
dark furtive devious crushing abusively?
that weighs her down stifles her song
could it be God, no that would be wrong
whatever it is it is no small thing
as if all the Winters holding back Spring
If only the load could be lifted taken away
but it’s too pernicious and ready to betray
Its metastasizing while numbing the mind cloyed
what more painful than to see a friend’s joy destroyed?
Beaten back by those forces that cause soul death
I will fight for your release as long as I have breath
if you can in any way reach out and take my hand
as I’m forever reaching even as we crash land
