waiting

waiting! yes patiently waiting!
til the next steps made plain will be;
to hear, with the inner hearing,
the voice that will call for me.

waiting! yes hopefully waiting!
with hope that need not grow dim;
the master is pledged to guide me,
and my eyes are unto him.

waiting! expectantly waiting!
perhaps it may be today
the master will quickly open
the gate to my future way.

waiting! yes waiting! still waiting!
i know though i've waited long,
that while he withholds his purpose,
his waiting cannot be wrong.

waiting! yes waiting! still waiting!
the master will not be late:
since he knows i am waiting
for him to unlatch the gate.

story people

My uncle told me once there were 3 rules for a great opera. Make it loud, wear flashy clothes & if it's not going your way, kill yourself. It has no basis in reality, he added. That's why I like it.

I get the story of the day from the story people. It makes me grin. Sweet lil musings that are silly. Silly is good.
