Yes, we could wait, we could,

for that moment in which
the ears hear all sound, muffle it, and drive it away.
for that moment in which
the mouth tastes all things, indulges, and carries on.
for that moment in which
the hands touch all surfaces, yearns, and brushes through.
for that moment in which
the nose smells all fragrances, wonders, and congests.
for that moment in which
the fire in our eyes diminishes,
and requires the air in our lungs to ignite.

but, for the moment in which
the passion in our hearts arise,
and the creative nature of our brains
begin to ponder how we even got here,
in this time, in this moment,
with all of these beautiful senses,
waiting.

just waiting.

in this moment, and only in this moment,
the wait is over.
the world is reborn, and we are alive again.
