Waiting - -waiting
So many people wanting

Waiting for their chance
Their turn- -waiting
Wanting to open their mouths
Wanting to speak- -waiting
Listening- -enjoyingWanting to hear more
Absorbing the essence
Of the many- -so many
So many people- -so many words
So many ideas- -absorbing
Letting out emotion
Releasing testosterone
Revealing - -retrieving
Relentlessly receiving
So many waiting
Waiting for their chance
To speak- -to read
To release to let out
That which had been bottled
Bottled pressures and pleasures
Letting go- - giving in
Giving it all to those
Who will take it in
Those waiting

Absorbing- - conceiving
Retrieving your thoughts
Making them their own
Creating and recreating
Understanding taking it in
Each word individual
Each line combined
Each phrase rephrased
Taken apart and then�
And then rebuilt again
Given to so many
Given so much
Giving with words
A tender soul touch
Retrieving and receiving
Absorbing every thought
Every emotion released
Relieved- - deeply received
Every fiber of essence
The very existence
Of emotion- -of thought
The make-up of existence
The genuine reality
Of the deepest of beauty
The reality of the
Glowing inner thoughts
And emotions
Like rivers flowing
Deep like lakes
The reflection of the soul
The true vision
That we see
The true beauty
Of our being
Your inner light- -inner glow
The work of your mind
Your thoughts combine
Letting loose your soul
The words from your hands
Upon a sheet of paper
Suddenly a work of art
Letting loose the spirit
Unleashing that which is most
Securely locked inside you

Unleashing you
Unleashing me
Unleashing us
We all combine
Our essence
The essence of so many
Embraced - -entwined
A great glow of inner beauty
A mass of emotional energy
Set free
