And suddenly,
Waiting is the new punishment, the new caution and the new reward;
So we wait with distance,
We wait with masks on,
We wait for allowed numbers to leave, to enter a room
We wait, in the queues
We wait, about twenty five minutes after the vaccine, before we can leave
We wait, in the lockdown
We wait, for The State of Emergency to be lifted
We wait, on those "Hi How Are You's"
We wait, for the May Super moon to bloom tonight
We wait, and We wait, and We wait.

Wishing you the best Super Moon ever! Here on the West Coast it seems we are going to have a great view. I always enjoy your poems, Gillena.

So we do. All those ways. I love how your first line sums it up and then the poem elaborates.

The super moon's eclipse was great, I watched it on TV taken here, one hour, well, 59 minutes. The first majority of your waits, one of the lives saved might have been yours!!! Being old, we had our shots, jabs, in January.

Sadly Covid has stolen something from all of us. Let's hope better days will come.

Yes, a lot of waiting. For the first 6 months or so (maybe more, my son would know), I waited in the car while my son did the grocery shopping. Hope your state of emergency lifts soon. I didn't even hear about the moon until too late. Then I read Helen say it was to be a great view from here!

There are some nice things to enjoy while we wait, but focusing on the waiting alone can drive us mad.
