Biding Time

It may have seemed as if
hope had left us
but that wasn’t entirely true.

In our interactions, we conveyed
that things seemed hopeless
and change would never happen.

In fact, change always comes
one way or the other
resist it, and suffer
embrace it, and live.

It may have seemed as if
we were accepting
but we were just biding time
nesting, sucking in energy
drawing breath, preparing for
the moment
when we would fly.
