On Waiting

By the bus stop

By the lake

By the curb beside my leg

In the sun

Or in the rain

In the cold

I'm shivering in

Wait wait wait wait

Waiting for the falling rain

In a drought has never been

I am atoning for my sin

Wait wait wait wait

Waiting for the flowers to bloom

In a winter storm has never been

I am barely holding it in

Wait wait wait wait

For the love of god

My soul to take

I cannot run from my fate

If it is to waste away while I wait
