Abeyance

In limbo,

highest in the air

where a bird could never grasp you.

When will you fall?

When will grace shelter its walls

and force you onward through the gloom?

You're frozen,

but I've never the verbs

to warm a heart ticking slower than time.

When will it end?

When will you descend

from where you're neither visible nor alive?

Angst-strangled existence,

war-torn, weightless;

trapped in a world of abeyance.

Author's Note

Just a little something written during a bit of down-time. Quite the short piece, but here's to you all enjoying it nonetheless. :)
