Wavering in want
is wallowing in wait
for something to happen
while the world goes on.
Toiling the time
is the devils presence
when you are wishing
you were
some
one
else
some
where
else
who
saw
You
As
who
you
are
Now
and said,
I've been looking for
You
I've finally found
You
-they'd say.
And I'd see,
no time was wasted,
no time like the present,
when the devil may care.
