When The Heart Whispers

A World In Waiting

A World In Waiting 

I'm just waiting here,

twiddling my thumbs

willing the clock to tick faster

hoping the day passes by in a blur.

I look out of the window,

marvelling at the wonders of nature,

enraptured by its amity

perfected by the hands of the creator.

Snapped out of my surreal stupour,

I endure inaction

then pick up a book

and plunge into its world:

Deeper.

It's time to take my leave,

from this haven of fantasy

and return to reality,

however dull it may be.

There! A good day spent,

submerged in the leaves of an inviting novel,

a portal to a parallel realm,

where wizards and wolves seemingly dwell.

A world I'd rather keep secret,

for when I'm twiddling my thumbs:

A world that's patiently waiting for me.
