Waiting for a Sign (verses 1 and 3) Janet Kuypers 5/29/09 I have been waiting Sitting in suburban subdivisions Like shared cemeteries Waiting for a sign Is that your voice resonating through the air Or is that just your heat I can see those waving lines of heat like the burning rays of the sun Sine, cosine Up and down, Back and forth Arcing, curling I can see those waves Like heat waves from the sun Burn though me Is this what you do to me? I second-guess myself While I wait ### So now I stand here We spin on our axis over a thousand miles an hour We revolve around the sun Sixty-seven thousand miles an hour Our planet is spiraling through space At six hundred thousand miles an hour Everything is spinning around me And I stand here Observing the world Feeling like I know less and less about more and more My head is spinning And I’m waiting Though I don’t know what I’m waiting for Copyright Janet Kuypers.
