Waiting in discomfort, though I am 
not alone 
Others waiting with me for reasons of their own
 
Still we wait through choice 
An answer in our sight
Our suffering increasing throughout our common plight 

No turning back now for we have come too far 
Waiting for directions, our Google guiding star
In line to online we do a little dance, 
In the venue of the broken many in a trance 

Some read the room without any shame while 
Others go before you to be replaced with more of the same
The waiting game continues
Waiting for your name

Books and magazines, distract and entertain
Screens nestled in hand's take some of the strain 
Everyone is a victim all connected through pain


Mobility in various forms
A hobble and a crutch
Some with wheels of misfortune 
For others 
DO NOT TOUCH.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
