Waiting In the Maybe

Waiting in the Maybe                       For My Aunt,  Billie Marie Zal

Maybe I Am
singing Singing a tune.

Maybe I Am
Somewhere singing like a loon.

Maybe I Am
Somewhere Walking in the dark.

Maybe I Am
just waiting for The day to start.

Maybe I Am
saving for a rainy day.

Maybe I Am
just having my say.

Maybe you should be rocking
not sitting still.

Maybe you should sing
like the whippoorwill.

Maybe I Am
giving back the dime.

Maybe I Am
taking back My time.

Maybe the need
needs to be refilled.

Maybe the need
needs to be still.

Maybe changing places
keeping time.

Maybe you will get the Answer
in the nick of time.

When waiting in the Maybe
there is no I in Me.

I would like to thank each of you for your comment. This was actually written in one sitting. I did edit it several times but in all it came out in one piece. You encourage me to write more.
