Awaiting

 

High above it all,

No restraints no boundaries,

Endless land beneath,

Stretching out endlessly,

Of vast plains, forest,

seas ,and deserts,

And of hot and cold,

Leaning against the tree of life,

What holds the world in place,

Where life is born,

And where the dead return,

I guard over it,

Immortal, eternal without form,

Watching through the seers' pool,

Watching the world,

No lies only truth,

But what I should never have felt,

Is envy, I am just a guard,

Till I am given mortality,

I will not experience it,

Till the next takes my place in eternity,

I shall wait and hope,

For the time of life,

And await eternity's break.
