A penny for your silence on this matter,
because I marry merrily,
without asking about my partner
in time.
What I wouldn't give for a fortune
that was not told through a deck of cards,
or a small cookie.
What I wouldn't give for a destiny
that would find me
by making me go out into the world,
of which I am so much more afraid.
To this day I read plays about waiting,
and watch from close by,
having picked up new pieces with each step.
The further I am the harder to see,
but the further I go the greater to be.

© Carollynn G., Hawthorne, NY

The author's comments:
A poem which describes time, and the realisation that it passes whether we make moves and decisions, or simply sit and wait it out.
