Constance La France Poet Blank verse

I Wait

 
Beneath a leaf I cling changing-  waiting,
sensing a new journey for me this day;
I fold my wings and dream, and dream, and dream,
a thing so ugly-   is what I am now.

I need some peace, tranquility, some rest-
The grave I think calls me. "Come sleep my love,
just lay in green, in peace with bird's soft song;
gone care, gone pain, gone grief, gone tears." -   NEVER !

So deep inside I wait, transform-  I wait,
silence, stillness within . . .  I sleep and then;
my wings unfold at dawn-  I fly away,
a girl with wings so beautiful  ~•~  this day.
