You gave me an idea. While in Orlando2 weeks ago, I strolled around in the nearby woods and I saw an interesting picture I took of my long shadow among the trees and maybe I’ll create reflections to go with the photo. So thank you for inspire me. Yes and an interesting review on life.
Your piece really stayed with me. The repetition of “waiting” beautifully captures how much of life can slip by while we anticipate the next moment, the next milestone, or the next relief. What begins with small, everyday things gradually expands into the entire arc of a life, which makes it feel both personal and universal.
The line about waiting “for REAL life to begin” feels like the emotional center of the piece, and the closing reference to Waiting for Godot widens the reflection into something deeply human and existential. It’s simple in structure, but it carries a lot of truth. Thank you for sharing it.
Jaw totally dropped here. What a journey that poem is! Thank you.
(And there's a wee typo--weigh needs a t.)
Thank you! And also thank your editor persona! Will correct.
