Great write. Love the introduction of the ticking clock when death comes along, seemed to give an air of urgency... an urgency to live, now. Rather than wait for death, we should feel ok with it coming when we least expect it : )
God, I feel like I've heard this poem a thousand times. I don't mean that in a bad way, just that I'm familiar with the feeling. It's divinely sad and too true.
Beautifully spoken. Waiting, like happiness, is best when we forget it is happening. Like so many of your poems this is surface simple, but word perfect - it's all in the tenses ;)
Somehow "waiting" just became a more meaningful activity. You gave me more to think about while I'm waiting! Thanks for the new poem and your great reading!

To often, it seems, people simply wait for it to start!

Been "Waiting" a long time for another MsWriteNow piece. :-)
Well done, timely and so... now.
