Gershon Wolf Poet Free verse

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
