Sacrement of Waiting

Sacrement of Waiting
Originally uploaded by Firespiral Arts.

It takes a quiet patience, this Sacrement of Waiting time. Trees are waiting in wind and cold. Mothers wait, swelling and anticipating. Lovers wait for the strum of the heart song to catch in their breath, joy streaming. Friends wait, for the reach of others in common thought and feeling. Ice waits, preparing to thaw, or fall.

This stillness
buzzes
with
"Alive"
in hushed tones
spherical and round.

What are you waiting for?
