FOR THE LONGEST WAIT

Johan Mitchell 1996 (Polokwane)

Free verse
FOR THE LONGEST WAIT
 the Time has come  
 the Time is now
the day is strange :  indeed it is
the ticking of the clock on the wall
tik Tok tik Tok
for the longest wait and the softest wind's
everything seems so confused around this time
around
yet again another day has gone slipping away in to the darkest night sleep well tonight
tik Tok tik Tok the clock will eventually fade away
tomorrow is a brand new day
