I am here
waiting still
for the answers to the indefinite questions
But I am feeling restless
as the barrenness within is calling out
unceasingly
relentlessly
wanting to be liberated from the grasps
of qualms
of cloudiness
Yet surrendering to despair and anguish I am not
As time will not be there to comfort anyone
As time will never stop to wait for someone
I am here
hoping still
for the answers to the indefinite questions
and in spite of everything..
the sun arises

this is awsome! good job. as always here is my favorite part!
"Yet surrendering to despair and anguish I am not
As time will not be there to comfort anyone
As time will never stop to wait for someone"
Good luck! -
Wonderful!
This poem really echoes the truth that the sun and rain washes over all of us. Despite our anguish a new day begins and so we must journey on. The lines I loved best were:
'As time will not be there to comfort anyone
As time will never stop to wait for anyone'
We are sometimes deluded into thinking that time can heal things for us, we hang our dreams on the 'one day..,' cliche and really delude ourselves that the answer will come without effort. Timeless poem, well written!

Whoa!
I must be trite with you. I honestly don't care for poems that don't rhyme, but you my friend have captivated a piece of my morning and froze it in time to read over and over again.. You penned this so beautifully and I commend you for it. 
For as long as I can remember I have sat in my bed in the morning and dread seeing the sun rise in the wake of the moon, knowing time stands still for no one. Yet, I keep hoping some days that I could freeze time as you did for me in this poem. Also another thought popped into my mind about a grieving wife or husband over their spouse and waking up to face another morning wishing not for the sun to peak over the hill tops. Yet it does and she most go on coping with the loss best he/she can. So many thoughts ponder along with this piece of art. Bravo, and thanks for the read!
