I can’t wait to get
so old
That all this anger
just subsides
Washed away like it’s
nothing
Wisdom and grace
taking over
I can’t wait for
the day to come
When I awake and
just feel the day I’m in
Taste the coffee in
my mouth and
The touch of the
people I love
Without this weight
on my back
I sense it now and again
Like summer coming
The hairs on your arms stand up
And balance overcomes you
There is no poetry in
carrying a burden
That never breaks
you
It’s like an inside
joke
So you channel it
Funnel it into the
real poem
Or dam it up
Long enough to see
what havoc you can cause
If you let it out
all at
Once.
