Watching the clock tick by, but never chimes,
A distant bell, a songless rhyme.
The world moves on, and here I remain,
Caught in the stillness, longing’s domain.
The sun arcs high, then sinks below,
The moon ascends with a silver glow.
Time’s quiet march, steady and slow —
But my heart races, though you don’t know.
Each second a whisper, a breath, a sigh,
Hope rekindled, though I don’t know why.
Patience, a burden, heavy and cold,
Yet still, I cradle it — brave, and bold.
For waiting is love in its rawest form,
A flame that endures through the fiercest storm
It’s faith unspoken, a silent plea,
That what I wait for will come to me.
