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
