Waiting for the Earth to Turn

 

Crickets chirp,

The stars sit motionless

In the sky.

 

Glances at my watch

Are fruitless,

Never seeming to change.

A slight glow

Slowly erupts.

An edge of

The crescent moon!

 

The camera clicks,

Time speeds up,

The moon dramatically

Rises across a distant hill!



 






The clock slows again

As the earth slowly

Turns towards Venus.

 

Patience…patience…patience…
