Poetry :: Always Waiting

[poeticwatcher]

In the shadows
In the background
Always waiting
Please call upon me

You worry of leaving me
To putter and twiddle
You seem to be unable
To understand this riddle

In the shadows
I wait
In the background
I stay
Always waiting
For you
To beckon me
Forward too

I have chosen the background
As my sanctuary
So please do not dismiss me
From where I feel free

And yes its an odd freedom
To stay hidden away
But I am comfortable there
Waiting for you, prepared

Oh I… I dwell softly
I am not useless, I can be helpful
And that is what I would prefer
To be the quiet, dwelling help

In the shadows
I wait
In the background
I stay
Always waiting
For you
To beckon me
Forward too

In the shadows
In the background
Always waiting
Please call upon me
