Waiting

A perfect pastel pink
      my world
fluid       whisper warm   melodic
throbbing   hypnotic beats   until
I sleep in darkness wrapped   then
wake in tumult tossed

     born

forever now to wait in
impatient anticipation   wanting to be
what I am not  and  forgetting
who I am    yet still pursuing the rabbit
while tripping on expectations

looking down for cracks in the sidewalk
while perfect days and sunsets are missed
waiting   for the dawn ...
