The leaves on the trees
in a mountain breeze.
The ebb and flow
of oceans in motion.
Anticipation of horses
at the starting gate...
are like children in bed
on Christmas Eve...
or on a roadtrip asking
"Are we there yet?"
Students wondering
if they passed or failed.
Parents of daughters
on a prom date.
Grooms at church
awaiting their brides.
Expectant parents.
Will ours be a he or she?
Pacing fathers-to-be
in maternity wards.
Grandparents wondering
will they look like me?
Life's uncertainties cause
Restlessness.
