Waiting

It's cold.
The tall grass on my legs.
It's dark.
The only bright lights in front of me.
I stare.
I watch them wait.
They're all waiting.
For what, I don't know.
I listen.
The faint music in the background.
I feel.
The cold metal beneath my hands.
I walk.
Row by row they pose.
Waiting as they jump.
Waiting as they run.
Waiting for their child.
The one that will sit upon them.
They spun.
Once upon a time, they spun.
In a circle they raced.
And now,
And forever more,
They stay.
Unmoved.
Waiting.
Waiting for you.
