Wishes Still To Pray

Are they waiting for me patient, as I’m caught up in the game Are they counting down the moments, till I breathe my last refrain Do they wonder why I dawdle, with an opening so wide Do excuses stoop to waddle, as my tardiness contrives Is that light beyond my tunnel, to burn forever long Is the torch that lights my funeral, one to mark and count upon What now keeps me in this moment, as new paths have cleared away Is it something that I haven’t said —or wishes still to pray (Villanova Pennsylvania: September, 2016)
