Expectation

is not the end of what once was

is not the start of what is to be

is not the…middle

Of anything.

Expectation is the vision

of a promise

our minds make

to our hearts.

Feelings and emotions and

thoughts and dreams and

a reality predicted based

on intent

and the occurrence

of those little bits of today that

survive

through..until tomorrow

where they become

the new today.

Expectation

is how we assemble

those bits

in anticipation

of them existing.

Expectation is the promise

made

that they will

exist.
