Why Wait?

by @shewritesalone

Fresh cream and sugar on a piece of cake why wait, why wait? It crumbles after a day or so this, we know so should I take it in my mouth to savor or let my mind and feelings waver? The summer sun: warm and unafraid she will be gone, soon as night takes over day I cannot greet the silvery light we must bask, indulgently, while it is bright. However, this bottle upon my shelf grows in flavor and in wealth with each day that passes so it does not touch any crystal glasses. Green sanctuary, sweet perfume honeysuckle bloom and fruit springs from the vine should I just give it time? Is 6 years or 64 far too late why wait, why wait? What is action, what is fate? Why wait? Why wait?
