Impatience

She stood, still

Empty and alone against the darkened sky

Watching, impatient

Yet waiting, still waiting

Stars and moons and years rose beyond and above her

Endless cycles to note the passing of time

Ancient, she

The last of them, of us

Old yet young

A child turned adult turned child

Fathomless

A light in the dark

And shadow in the day

She still stands there, waiting

Watching

Dreaming and hoping and praying to Gods she long out-lived

Seeking that one person

The only one

He or she or they

That one who would allow her rest

Take her vigil

And allow her to end the wait

End her dreaming

End her standing

End her hopes

Her aging, watching, being, living
