While We Wait

There’s a layer of haze over the glass

Making it strenuous to see through this window,

But the radiant sun perseveres.

The chill in the air stings upon our skin;

Cars and people scurrying by,

The world accelerates in speed,

As we reluctantly remain in place.

Waiting for an undefined transition,

Any movement or advancement.

Patient until our lives can thrive,

And we can clearly see past this dusty room

Into a new chapter of our lives.
