the firefly

there is a lot
of waiting
going on.
in lines,
in traffic.
in the waiting
rooms, for
the oil to be
changed,
for the nurse
to call you in.
waiting for
phone reception.
waiting for
the rain to stop.
for people
to change,
for love
or a cup of coffee.
for the cold
to subside.
we are all waiting
for something.
or someone
to leave,
or arrive. we are
waiting for the moon
to come out
and shine.
waiting on
the firefly to glow
again.
waiting.
