Forbearance

I am not waiting, I am here 

A weighted patient, bided for beginning

Horizon's curve flattened 

New dawn or the dying of a light

Immersed, each sense full, filled

Skin shed, eager to leave the cocoon

Yet strangely settled, as new wings colour

An anticipatory flutter, a change or return

A flight booked but not yet taken

An uncertain journey, a measured pace

Today there is only today

Being in the present, a gift

I open at sunrise and hope for at dusk

A childlike wonder, a sense of awe

My tilted head heeds into the silence

I stay in the dance, awaiting the music to resume

I am here, present to myself

Unwrapped.💛
