Waiting

a poem by Anjali Nair

I shall wait…

till Kingdom comes,
till the sun rises,

till the cake is baked,
till the coffee is brewed,

till the bell rings,
till the lights go out,

till your skin glows,
till your eyes close,

till things change,
till life turns around,

till you forget,
till you remember,

till time tells,
till time heals the wound,

till the ice is broken,
till the rain subsides,

till the cars pass,
till the green signal,

till the next song,
till quiet comes over,

till the doors open,
till the curtains are drawn,

till it is my turn.
