Wilma Neels Poet Free verse

Hopeful

Gazing at the clock
Hoping it would tick faster
Looking at the door
Hoping it would open
Listening for your footsteps
No sound is heard

The clock has not stopped
The door has not opened
Your footsteps has gone quiet,
So has your voice…

Ian Jones August 1, 2015 at 1:29 PM Really captures the torment of waiting for that call, that e-mail or letter, that knock at the door. When it comes you feel uplifted and when it doesn't you feel worthless. I hope I haven't missed the mark with this one. Kind regards, Ian
