Long waiting
Is infuriating...
but
Is a space for creating
New ways
New seeing
New thinking
New being.
In this long waiting
Your Spirit, Abba,
Is present tense
To help us sense
The new.
In this long waiting
In this long lapse
Help us see
That the collapse
Of old things past
Makes space for creating
New ways
New seeing
New thinking
New being.
