Reliance

by Debra Wendt

The unexpected
intendent
remaining long
wandering far
if ever dismayed –
so near the flickering hope
the unseen known
so much awaits –
is it time?
We have plans;
waiting is a whirlwind of
disordered motion.
Clarity arrives in stillness;
it is faith strong
knowledge deep
certain –
as a calmed wind.
