The passover of silence

many voices assure thee
you'll be good
they will be with thee

in times of trouble
we will be there
so you wait

you need a lift to get home
penniless in thy companion
so you wait

as darkness falls
and voices dim
the wait extends from minues
into hours
into silence

a passover into
conversation with self
waiting for the inner voice
within to wake thee up
silence is also waiting for you

come passover

somewhere in urban malaysia
when a wait becomes eternal
silence
night passes over into day
and day into night
you continue to wait

At least the passover of silence is a peaceful one, as placid as an indoor pool.

Patience I do not have,

Miss Patience is also virtuous
Sometimes people would wait forever
and a day
don't be too anxious
and a sirsprise may pop thy way
