i will wait, til the days are filled with insurmountable joy.
til my lungs breathe on their own,
not startled by any slight.
i will wait, holding on, til i feel free,
not bound to constant anxiety.
i will wait, clinging to the small, but meaningful.
not to focus on the desperation of the overwhelming big.
i will wait, because i know that this night won't last.
every midnight giving way to a continuous flowing tomorrow,
bringing a new sunrise, new chance and hope.
i will wait, in reverence, of the impossible universe giving me a reason.
a reason to hold on.
a reason and purpose to give some meager meaning.

i will wait.
