THE STRUGGLE OF WAITING

 

An instance isn't long, 

When the wait is accompanied.

With thoughts that engross the head,

Or a companion who is garrulous .

And the same moment becomes the longest hour,

 When an impatient person is seated ,

with a conflicting mind,

Overwhelmed with baffled thoughts.

When both these instances are considered  

Did time stand still ?

Or was it the mind?

That prolonged the struggle of waiting...…. 

The person adjacent feels the uneasiness

Like a dagger digging deep.

A self denying pain excruciating from within 

lying abstract as could be.
