"Waiting"
By Khaz



Waiting...

For the pain to end,
Release from agony only time can mend.
On another's whim can fate depend...

A time of calm before the storm
I wait alone, silence covers me.
Forcing patience holds my form,
Looking to the day that I shall be free.


Waiting...

For love's sweet embrace,
The gentle touch of another's face
That comes and goes without a trace...

The greatest passion, when denied,
Is the greatest curse to those who feel.
I hold my ground, I have my pride.
Though each second cuts like sharpened steel


Waiting...

Not for anything
But the calm that the wait can bring.
Motion stilled to hear the silence sing...

Lost in the moment I forget time
And attain a state of higher peace.
Above the sky the mind can climb
If only we would grant its release.
