Now Is Eternity

I will sum it up for you, I will make it simple; I wait. I wait because patience is a virtue. I wait because I'm beautiful, and everything else will eventually fall into place around that. I wait because you are beautiful, and I like to sit & watch you live your life. I wait because I like to let go

of myself

and float upon my back in the river. I wait because I am taken good care of. We are beautiful, you and I.

So I wait.

I wait because we are helpless & needy. I wait because time goes by on its own. I wait because the now is always all I have; for at each & every new second the one before is gone & the one after doesn't belong to me. I wait because there will always be something yet to come. I wait because I smile, and smile because I wait.

I wait because life exists not elsewhere, but rather here, now, and within me. I wait because life is what happens whilst i'm busy being so impatient. I wait because I breathe

slowly.

I wait because I'll get there, I wait because if I don't get there I'll get somewhere else. I wait because no one remains forever unfound. I wait because I'm never lost, I'm always here; somewhere; anywhere. I wait because I like to know what I would miss if I don't wait.

I wait because I admire destiny. I wait because I am grateful, I wait because I believe. I wait because I surrender. I wait because I don't wish to understand.

I wait because I know we're all going somewhere, or no where. It doesn't matter because I wait, and I wait because it doesn't matter; it never really mattered, and probably never will.

And I wait, because unknowingly, we're all just waiting eternally.

    This is just so beautiful and damn right (at least for me.) Thanks a lot, Aya, for the post.

    Like a wild beast guards my way.
    My emanation far within
    Weeps insensately for my sin."

  5. التكرار يوضح المعنى و يوًكد على ما توصلت اليه و لم انجح كليا في تنفيذه

    I'm blown away.
