Waiting for their buds to bloom
Waiting to sit in the chair soon
Waiting to look across at the view
Waiting to enjoy the promise of the new
Waiting, waiting, waiting…
It occurred to me on this warm Spring day
I am always waiting my life away
I have an image of what I will do
When I get time!
So my dreams remain dreams
My plans remain plans
Until I stop waiting my life away
I will start today, I will start anew
I will sit in the chair, take in the view
I will enjoy the trees on this sunshine day
I will watch the puppies in their play.
And I will be grateful to the trees,
For reminding me
That time is a concept, and yet the only commodity.

Just lovely, especially the last few lines. The trees reminding you!

Thanks Ellen, I have had it in my mind what you said about poetry. It popped in my head, as I sat in the garden looking at my trees, with the uninhabited chair.
