I’m Waiting
by Madam Snowflake

Waiting to feel the earth beneath my moving feet
Waiting to see whole faces on our quiet streets
Waiting for concession from inculcated friends
Waiting for the fear and hate and pain to end

Waiting for the rain, anticipating
Waiting for peace while they’re invading
Waiting for a truth that’s vacillating
I’m waiting
Waiting on this edge, calculating
Waiting for a cure, integrating
Waiting for the change, transmutating
I’m waiting

Waiting for this body and this mind to move in sync
Waiting for coherence with the breath and my own heartbeat
Waiting for incongruity to make its kind amends
Waiting for the fear and hate and pain to end

Waiting for the rain, anticipating
Waiting for peace while they’re invading
Waiting for a truth that’s vacillating
I’m waiting
Waiting on this edge, calculating
Waiting for a cure, integrating
Waiting for the change, transmutating
I’m waiting

Feel the space in-between
Don’t fill the spaces in-between
Feel the space in between
Don’t fill the spaces in-between
Feel the space in-between
Don’t fill the spaces in-between
In-between

Waiting for the rain, anticipating
Waiting for peace while they’re invading
Waiting for a truth that’s vacillating
I’m waiting
Waiting on this edge, calculating
Waiting for a cure, integrating
Waiting for the change, transmutating
I’m waiting
