Vickie Olmsted Poet Lyric

Wait

The noise, the din, I can’t take it all in. I’m wounded, I bleed, the warning I didn’t 
heed. My brain is pressing against my skull, it feels like a heavy black ball, I’m 
sad, I’m mad, I’m hurting real bad, I feel like a wire strung too tight, I’m holding 
on with all my might. Nature, she soothes me, the gentle wind, the fresh air, but 
now tis winter and I’m feeling despair, I’m all worked up with nowhere to hide, I 
feel like running but I’m temporarily blind. My hands shake, my breath abates, the 
doom is coming and all I can do is wait. I'm sick with fear, trapped down tight, 
when will this end? There’s no end in sight. Tis night now and I’m struggling to 
breathe, please Goddess, hear me and send me relief. If the fall is too far, I will 
not come back, how can I get my life back on track? This ride, when will it end, 
and will it end or will it just begin. Hear my plea take away the fear, I know you’re 
there, I feel you near. I’ll wait, if wait I must, for in the Goddess I have only trust.
