The dawn breaks in
with the alarm
….. but I wait
life goes on, such set routine
even machines feel vulnerable
….. and I wait
a hushed prayer follows
though nothing changes
….. smiling, I wait
it seems like eternity with
no beginning or end
….. patiently, I wait
the spring has arrived
soon all will be green
….. yet, I have to wait
a blue butterfly circling around
trying to pass a secret message
….. a good omen, I shall wait
when stars above have aligned
and swirl of doubts diminished
when trust has gained steady
ground, in that moment divine
– like magic it will finally appear.
….. until then, I must wait !

A peaceful, patient wait. Neeeraj..The varied repetition emphasizes this – and the verb ;smiling’.
And I love the stars and magic of the final stanza.

Beautiful imagery but the poem leaves me wondering if that which you wait for is always there anyway?

A lovely and peaceful waiting, as if perhaps, that for which you wait is in front of you the whole time.

Hiya Neeraj! Thanks for posting to my prompt! I really like you use the passage of time and answer back of the narrator to show patience and calm. The effect is hypnotic. Well done and viva la!
