waiting – Shift Key

Haiku 18.21

greater than faith with
hope is faith without any
hope at all at all

the unexpected
made it a hold your breath kind
of day still holding

we talked in the still
of the sun God listened to
every sigh and cry

the ER waiting
room made a long day longer
and our love heartfelt

if cars could fly you’d
be loose from Opelousas
and back home by now

cook or MacDonald’s
then we’ll settle in and watch
the next Miss Marple
