I wait for the sun to set 

I wait for the moon to rise

Will the shifting of day into night

bring renewal?

I wait for the rain to fall

I wait for the wind to blow

Will the changing of the seasons

bring resurrection?

I wait for the river to flow

I wait for the earth to shake

Will the turning of the spheres

bring transformation?

I wait for life to reveal itself

I wait for the ending of pain

the mystery continues

I endure

I wait

with the sun the moon the rain the wind the river the earth

as my faithful companions

I wait.
