Day of Wonder

Day of Wonder

It’s the day

of the rising

and the leaving

and the emptiness

with first

the disbelief

and the shock

and the fear

and the helplessness

then the wondering

about the how

and the what

and the what next

and the speculation

and the circling

round it

and round it

with the argument

and the discussion

and gradually

the waiting

and the silence

and the waiting,

and the wondering

and the waiting

and the nearly

despairing

until

the meeting.
