Waiting..




I kept on waiting 
for I was told..
In some time...
I would behold..
It would come..
Beside this tree ..
I was so eager, then to see...
But I've been waiting for so long..
Was this the place.. did i hear wrong?
My legs ache..
and hunger and thirst
visit me oft... one after the first...
I can't keep track of time...
But i see dusk and dawn....
I've stopped keeping track
of each day that goes..
The path i'm on leads to nowhere..
I stand still... I stare.. I stare..I stare...
To an endless seam of the earth and sky...
far off i see.. a few birds fly..
breaking stillness..and the only sound..
is the flap of their wings and the cry of a hound..
And I lost stand amidst my own thoughts..
I'm waiting still .. I see it not..
