The Art of Waiting
sitting pensively on the bench
wondering when they will arrive
thinking of all the things I must do
when I realize
the wait is worth the wait
taking the time
it takes to wait
may be the best time
for contemplation
for creation
for meditation
simply waiting
anticipation wanes
as I stop thinking
and start waiting
I like this. I like to people-watch while waiting.

I love people watching so waiting is a past time I arrive early to enjoy. Excellent premise for a piece of poetry..

Sitting and quietly waiting is a good exercise that i do not engage in often enough.

Great poetry. I had not thought of waiting as a form: of meditation, of introspection and better yet, a form of doing. Thank you Lisa! β€
