Don't close your eyes, miss the answer
Here I wait,
Patiently -
At least - I try to.
I cannot do anything else -
I do not want to risk being distracted -
For if I do become so,
Then that which I have been waiting for
May pass me by
Whilst I'm looking the other way.
I don't believe that this answer will chase after me -
Therefore in all things that I do
I have to have it in mind -
Watching for a clue,
Looking for a revelation
That may answer the question that I have -
Even if not in the way I expected -
Or from the direction from which I anticipated it to come.
