Qavah

Qavah
 
Wait expectantly?
I’ve been waiting
On pins and needles
For decades.
 
How many years
Did Sarah wait?
How many times
Did Hannah plead her case?
 
I’ve been waiting.

On pins and needles.

For decades.
 
The pins feel sharper now. 
The needles pierce my heart
To the point of shedding blood.
 
But you already know what that’s like,
Don’t you?
Being pierced,
Shedding blood.
 
So, I’ll wait some more
On painful pins and needles.
On You will I wait
For You to keep Your promise.
