Poised with passion

Another Poetry Party (the 23rd) hosted by Christine at Abbey of the Arts features this photograph of sweet Tune waiting at the bathroom door (with her human inside) in eager anticipation of her evening walk. Christine writes:

Luckily my camera was close at hand, but seeing her sit there so patiently, yet full of expectation, touched something in me. I have been pondering doors a lot lately with some of that to appear here on this blog. Often we wait at a threshold and the door has yet to be opened. That space of waiting can be one of the most difficult, and yet often the most necessary of times.

For what are you waiting with eager anticipation? You might speak from your own voice in the poem or that of a dog full of hope.

Feel free to take your poem in any direction and then post the image and invitation on your blog and encourage others to come join the party!

Sweet Tune
Patience born of knowing
pattern and person
Poised with passion
Ready to burst forth
at the first opening of the door

When past routine
no longer maps
direction or desire
Object of anticipation
uncertain and unclear
Restlessness pervades

Sweet Tune
Your poised passion
Eager anticipation
Secure knowing
Remind of greater
being and purpose

Uncertainty and change
open opportunity to wait
wonder, anticipate
familiar passion
pattern and person
in new landscape
