bidding its time tenaciously

waiting close to five years
the key is rightly in place
for the living souls amid fears
of not returning those many days

against vagaries of the weather
pounding days and nights mercilessly
snow piling thick for a metre
rain sleet hail almost daily

it stood its ground relentlessly 
with strength not wanting to take sides
bidding its time tenaciously
a silly quarrel sustained on account of pride

  2. Love the way this creates an itch to see that key turned--what or who has been waiting for five years?
