Waiting For The Call

Tick tock, tick tock

I glance the watch at every beep

A prayer to God to make it click

My plans, dreams and every hope

I rob my palms upon my cheeks

To still the red that burns in them

Before aloud I let on show, the freak

in me kept under helm

The sound of buzzers fright my chest

A leap it does, and wiggle my nerves

At dusk, birds take flight to their nests

While I find shield to my fears

Hours, minutes, seconds I wait

Head bowed and fingers crossed

Patience, my heart anticipates

For a call, and the call received

Cheers! Life is good

The one we’ve lived and dream about
