wait

and as the days grow long

each one an eternity

waiting for its end to come

I wait too

like everybody waits in the end


I wait for the sun to rise and set

and to recur again and again

for love to come, for love to pass

for youth to slowly fade away


and as i wait i recognize

a truth well-known and yet repressed

since while we wait

the world is there

and lives and breathes like every day


and blossoms young and secrets deep

are waiting for our touch

'cause for them as well as for me and you

each day could be the last
