Silence in waiting
A sister softly prays...head down, thin white shawl draped over her head.
Wife sits staring out the glaring window, no expression, still, containing all emotions...
Daughter lays down on the floor mat, head pounding. She turns her body towards the wall as a teardrop falls from her already swollen eyes and I catch my breath to keep strong. I look away to the grandchildren, sharing and playing their nintendo DS focused and full of joy...
Cousin reading the gossip column...mano oh mano...again and again
Nephew sits alone at a distance with his earphones..."Tak gendong..kemana-mana"
Tapping his knees...drumming away to the beat of the music.
With all this activity..there is this silent suffocation as we all wait...for what...for God's answer for today...
