A Poem: Lost and Waiting

Lost and Waiting

A lifeline has knots and curves out of sight
A random tug pulls once a day
Sometimes so strong and others light 
Her curiosity won’t fade away
Her feet stand close together
Shoes wet she doesn’t want to make a sound
Fear of the unknown anger
Seems thick as fog and all around
Shed sell her talent for matches
So that she could light the way
No one is around for buying 
And she thinks she would just let them down
A blind man holds her honor
Deep inside her head
His hands are tied behind him
And he whispers that he’s dead
A random tug pull again
S hard she nearly falls
She wonders when they’ll let her see 
Or if she’ll see at all
She dreams about her mother 
And the kind words spoke to her
She dreams about her father 
And wishes he would take a turn
