Waiting.
Waiting rooms in doctor's offices and clinicians hours behind schedule.
Waiting at a red light when you're running late.
Waiting to grow up.
Waiting to get a raise.
Waiting to lose weight
Waiting to prove something
Waiting to be happy
Waiting for Jesus to come back
Waiting for Christmas
Waiting til the kids are in older
Til there's more time
More money
Less stress
Waiting til it's all over
Waiting to buy a house
Waiting to move away
Waiting to find someone
Waiting to be who you are
Waiting to get pregnant
Waiting to give birth
Waiting past when they said
Waiting
Wanting
it to be somewhen else
something else
away from now
here
this
gift
Gift
Open
Here
Pull the tab and breathe your life
It is this
Now
Gift
Pain Pleasure Fear Love Rage Unknowing
Quiet Peace in All
Right now
Acceptance
Embrace
It is your life
Your gift
Your now
Emergence

Great poem -- kinda just what I needed to read. Deep. Thoughtful in a way that just gets to you.
What's really funny is how the title is "The Big Wait Poem." Hey, that's what it is, right? : )
Peace,
Michael
