Notes About The Poem
[ hear the song ]
Listen to poem:
The Creativity of Expectation
Absence craves answers
in a hollow solitude
pulling us nearer
driven by the aching void
which cannot stay left unfilled
Expectation swells
in the pause between two breaths
drawing strings tighter
to capture what thought had missed
in expelling the longing
Silence sends alarm
as loud as a siren's cry
something is coming
it presses the heart to hear
what listening ears have missed
The longer the wait
the more the ears turn inward
to fantasies spun
to fill the gaping silence
that refuses to be still
Silence grows restless
to unlock forgotten doors
that expectation
swore were already waiting
in the wings for their prompt cue
