Photo Challenge #15 “Birdhouse” – Waiting.

cool-surreal-paintings-13

Wait he said.

So I wait.

Day in day out.

How long?

Four years six months eight days.

Said he would come.

Worth my while to wait he said.

So I do.

The house across the way is odd

Always shrouded in fog

A road going to it

None coming from it.

Coaches arrive

Never depart.

I’ve seen a lot,

You do when you wait

See a lot.

A lot of oddness.

But I have my resolve

He will come

He said he would.

I can’t leave

What if he comes?

What would I do then?

So I wait

And I will

Wait.

    Sometimes waiting can be so hard. But if we didn’t wait, then we might miss something. I enjoyed this one Michael.

    Quite eerie. Makes you wonder and wonder, afraid to wander. Very good.

    I’m so impatient. Waiting always kills me. Especially waiting for someone.

    Excellent Michael, this reminds me of a love song, the promise of a return … which never seems to arrive.
