In These Confusing Times

We wait

like a dormant, leafless tree that sleeps in winter

like an awaited blossoming flower in spring

like unhatched eggs on the bird’s nest

in doubt and uncertainty

 -- of an unknown future and possibilities

We wait

in each contradictory options

the hopeful or discouraged answer

the happy or sad ending

in the mixture feelings of both excitement and uneasiness

We wait

until what passes us not merely time

but also patience,

sanity,

and faith

--

But we wait

--

We wait

until we eventually realise,
there is a beauty in waiting

It is the only condition
when any possibilities are possibly possible

and like the sky in the morning - the future is always open

--

In these confusing times… I only wish that this situation would end soon and everything would be back to its place...
We learn, a lot...
