Waiting.


I’m waiting for a feeling. I can’t start without it.

This feeling is like Godot,

promising, but never delivering.

Always a no-show.

So I wait.

Wasting time with simple diversions

Until the feeling shows.

Then I can be happy

And I can start the work

That will bring meaning to my life.

So I wait.

Maybe tomorrow.
