And Often I Wonder..."When?"

Right now, just left, and soon just became now
Time is on time, someway somehow
When 'wait' is never ending
then 'waited' has ended
When does "still waiting' have its end

Each second that passes, each minute along
I'm aware of my mortality, my 'swan song'
What will it be, and when will it come?
Because 'right now' just left, and soon is hurrying on.
'Wait' becomes 'waiting', and 'waited' has gone.

Dreams and desires showcased, in my everyday actions
Disappointments, delays highlighted, leaving just fractions
Of time remaining, of life still sustaining
When 'wait' become 'waiting', and 'waited' has fainted.

And often I wonder,
I just wonder,
And I ponder,
When?
