Interlude
Within these walls I sit alone
Clouds outside my open window
Cloaked in silence a tall church steeple
An unnatural droning silence hovers
As if the world out there is waiting along with me
We haven’t figured out quite why
I’m sensing the pressure that
A decision might need to be made
Or a next step taken unless…
I’m just recharging for the next chapter
In any case the silence is somewhat rather soothing
Time may have stepped aside
And forgotten me in limbo
In the overlap between winter and spring
As we all wait for the return of songbirds
And the rising of an invigorating sun
The world is still asleep and I’m the only one awake
It’s uncanny but I don’t want it to stop
This unfamiliar feeling of suspense
An interlude in this crazy race called life
