I Wait
By: Alexandra Lane

Spare me the
overworked platitudes--
patience is a virtue?
But, what about when
patience feels like a vulture,
scavenging the deserted soul for sustenance?
Or time will heal all wounds?
Then why have I spent so long reaching
for words to bind these wounds
and all it seems I grasp is Your silence?
In that taciturn darkness,
whispers of Abandoned
slither around wrists and ankles
like shackles.

My soul tires of
this endless expectation.
Never sure when;
never sure how;
never sure who.

Even still, Hope wrestles Doubt in my chest.
Though her voice quivers, she counters,
Not abandoned, to Doubt’s vicious hiss.
She whispers, He is coming,
as she digs in her heels for another battle.

And, my worn and weary soul
waits
for it to be so.

Honestly, I love the poem written by Alexandra Lane. There is so much emotion that I felt, that's why I liked it! In life, everything doesn't have any assurance. Your life might be going well today, but that doesn't give you the assurance that the same thing will happen tomorrow. And this is where the importance of hope and praying could enter. We should always hope for what is the best! Let us pray for things to work according to our desires, and I am sure that everything will fall into place.
