-- Waiting for an Answer --

­­John Herlihy

 

We are waiting for an answer,

We are, we are, we are.

Feeling lonely can’t be the answer,

It cannot, it cannot, it cannot.

Patience in life is ever beautiful,

Ever beautiful, ever beautiful, ever beautiful.

Suffering in life is never beautiful,

Never beautiful, never beautiful, never beautiful.

We feel lost and far away from home,

We feel lost, we feel lost, we feel lost.

We feel found in seeking home,

We feel found, we feel found, we feel found.

We ride the river of time that never waits,

Never waits, never waits, never waits.

Hopeful patience the answer that ever waits,

Ever waits, ever waits, ever waits.

I see many similarities to my present life in these lines. Interesting use of the echo.

We certainly have been waiting out this Coronavirus as it mutates into other forms. But I don't see us waiting for very long. We are an inpatient bunch. We can't sit still or wait. We seem to want to overcome our loneliness with busyness. It is a strange phenomenon, like going to a bar every evening to greet a whole bunch of sad, lonely people there with Cheers.
