Waiting, Waiting

Surrounded by myriad friends at his leave-taking surrendering his soul, to Whom and waiting, waiting for what... They clasped hands, freely hugged nodded knowingly While he waited, waited, for what ... alone, insufferably alone

When 'the time' comes, I hope neither of us has 'a long wait, Darlene. Pleasantness and Peacefulness, Gershon

although short, this is a profound poem. Perhaps this is a poem about Jesus' surrendering his soul and his suffering...or just an ordinary guy dealing with the anguish of being alone despite the appearances. Either way, well done. Enjoy your day, Sara

This one could have double meaning! I like that.

Double meaning? Really?! Now I know why I'm always crossing my eyes...
