The weight of waiting

The ring of the shadow work a thousand mile,
To rate the fast running snail with goals.
When will it be? Is it the time of ice when the leaves break!
In the wilderness a lion crow to see the risen moon.
What's up with that? True be told it is sweet-sour at the back of the net,
Watched by the crowd to squelch.
Mama said, "It is not time for debate, race the banner."
What's up with that? Ridden with scars in the pan,
My heart beats with anxiety, my soul worn thin.
The weight of the world presses down, like a heavy burden within.
The shadows loom, the darkness gathers, and I'm lost in my fears.
Oh, when will the dawn break? When will my heart be clear?
