Patience

As artificial rush of doing grows Remember nature's patience all around The patience for sunlight to find the rose The patience for the rain to reach the ground Witness the centuries of endurance The fortitude of trees to touch the sky Morning into midnight will bring balance The wind will wait for the sparrow to fly Do not hurry the ocean to the shore Or let new opportunities sweep past Allow, for today, moments to explore The time we have disappears far too fast Feel under your feet Earth's stability Take a breath, refresh your tranquility
