Waiting to Wonder

Surrounded by a nightmare,
In the shadow I am content.
Yet fleeting thoughts of fear
Dance upon glass bridges -

Waiting to crack...

Searching my deserted soul,
In the torrent I am lost.
Yet the sun remains above
Like the warmth of those beloved -

Waiting to be doused...

I am the tiger behind the fronds,
Hungry, yet patient; I will feast.
Yet these eyes still shed
The tears of those who hide -

Waiting to die...
