Patience

This dance has a name Its called patience Patience in my mind Patience in my soul Patience in my body It reminds me that it’s okay with it’s gentle sway Never too upbeat or ecstatic To be unresolved Is to feel the deep roots of incompletion Having compassion for what’s left to unfold So many experiences not yet lived My fear of the unknown want it’s all now To define the undefinable For the past can’t be re-written and the future can’t be assumed though, the current moment can be cultivated Each passing breeze Reminds me I’m alive More awake than I’ve ever been
