I cannot wait
The finish line is my bait
I cannot wait on the shore
For the fish to fall in my store.
I place the milk on the stove
I cannot wait till it surges above
And sputters havoc
I plant the sapling
I cannot wait
Till it flowers and fruits
I water it, water it
Only my will is watered
The cells hurry not to the sun
I get a pain, I am sick
In the physician’s cabin,
Its hell to wait for my turn
In minutes, he scans, scribbles
The pill, I take
I cannot wait till it dissolves
In my blood and cures my ail
I am impatient.. competing with Time
Faster than the earth..
And burdened..
I start a work
I cannot wait
All the journey
And snooze my goals
I take many roads, all roads
Till I am finished
My work isn’t.
I cannot sleep over
I cannot wait,
And scatter my patience
hither and thither
Ye master of time
Wait upon me
My tasks unfinished
And my youth is yet
Un-overwhelmed.
The more I hurry up
The faster you scamper..
Faster my chase, swifter your gallop
If I slump, you sleep
I will relax
Come, walk with me
Together tranquil
Your writing style is something I admire. I especially loved these lines,
‘I water it, water it
Only my will is watered
The cells hurry not to the sun’ and the last two paragraphs ππππ
