Waiting

Waiting.... That's All I Ever Did.

Get There!!
I know I will soon,
But where is there? And how much time is left?

I Get There
And wonder where WHEN went.
There is Here....
Gone is Now....
And NEVER Leaves.

Waiting.... That's All I Ever Did.

Got There!
Can't remember How I went, but
Then was There
And Time was sent
Up from Down... When there....I Went.

Waiting.... That's All I Ever Did.

Empty Cupboard

Standing, Hoping, Looking...
Into an empty cupboard.

Hoping, Yearning, Longing...
I know not what to do.

So I ask myself...To see if HE might know.

Ah...Whatever!
I'm going to McDonald's!!

Sleep

Drifting....ever so slowly
To sleep...I desperately need.

My head is one
With my pillow....
Resting the brain...it's dire need.

With images of yesterday
And days to come,
Abstract thoughts and wonders....
I wonder....where they're from.

It is dream land I am yearning.
It's all I really need.

Escape to unreality...
A dream...inside...
A dream.
