Prompt: Prompt, an anticipation poem
The End of Waiting
it seems so much of
life is waiting often i don't know for what i wait
still i wait it is
good when we know have something to look forward to
but more often than
not there is nothing or we could wait for the next season
or the weekend or the next holiday life seems to stretch
into what seems
infinity of course this isn't true life is finite
it is up to us
to remember there are only a number of days months
years and then it
comes to a screeching halt one day it is over
as surely as we are
born life will run its' course then dead
truly dead no
waking up no return
no more
waiting this is it what we were all waiting for

Its always right to look forward, to hope, although looking back from time to time reveals so much of what we've left behind. Life will always run its course.
Lovely written piece Annell. Greetings!
The ending is poignant
I see the truth of your words Anell. Even if we don't wait for death, it awaits us. Inevitable. Still, I hope we do more than wait while we're alive.
I love your playful tone. Thanks.
Greetings from London.
I am so keenly aware of this, my friend, having spent the last three years waiting, time I can't get back. And the months speed by so fast. Thank God for writing, and for art, something to show for the passing of time.

Surprised that my comment has disappeared - this is a problem I am facing on blogger - wordpress comments are not getting posted. Good that I came back - didn't want you to think not paying visits after hosting the prompt.
I like the form - and I guess this is all we are waiting for.
I loved this theme and the verse you wrote in Rosemary's post is very touching.
Important message in this: Living each moment as if there's no "do-over." Powerful writing, Annell.
Ah, annell, your poem is really inspiring...indeed, we can't afford to wait for something else to come....especially if we were waiting all life...action is required,even one step can change the familiar pattern, you know as in saying: if right step is wrong - go to the left....~ hugs!
