Patience

Future, forthcoming, impending, imminent, Future! In the present a constant litany The misery of constant thought of it, Today there, tomorrow there, Tomorrow in today. Invisibility of reason as accompaniment, The feeling, a river flow of unease and restlessness Never stopping sometimes a little less throbbing The drive to do and to be done to, Finally he intervenes once called upon Showing that it’s a gradual step Requiring basking in the little glory Of the presence of mind of the present The beauty of waiting without anxiety The gayness of today.
