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
