Longanimity

How many sands have you counted
building castles near the shoreline,
which the sea washes away
before the day is done?

Alas, you build them again and again
unmindful of the raging waves
and the wild winds
blasting away those paradigms~
before your hands could shape
the towers in your mind;
As if there were no waves~
As if there were no winds.

Every castle you built
scattered

Longanimity

This tale is of a long-suffering wife.
In misery she lived her married life,
for she had married young and badly too.
Things went all wrong after she said, “I do.”

If matrimony were a fire, she supplied
almost all the kindling wood. Her spouse denied
affection to his loving wife. He’d rarely speak.
A wall he put between them, and things

Longanimity

Having waited for long after hard laboring,
Tilling, planting, manuring and irrigating;
Keeping stray animals away from grazing them,
Protecting them from dangers, as though, costly gem; 
Treating the illnesses of better-half who's weak,
Pleasing the moods of kids, who fun and frolics seek; 
Eating sometimes; evading timely food, often,
Pleading the money-lenders their hearts to soften; 
Weeding the field

Longanimity

He took me fishing.

Meaning,
    I cast and fouled
    my fishing reel
    in rapid succession,
    forgetting to thumb break,
    creating snarled messes,
    rending the whole thing
    unusable.

He swapped
    his gear for mine,

Longanimity

The way of talking is exasperatingly bellicose.
The paradigm of longanimity has been dulled.
Presence, tragically, can't gather a full megadose.
Exceedingly, it is delicate and cracking cold.

I was prone to bouts of gloominess and fatigue.
More sureness would have been suffering an intrigue.
However, I improvised a helping to bestow the way.
I steadied my head on someone's shoulder all

Longanimity stretches a sowers grit for CROPS 
actuality, albeit, can likewise be ones, calm, cool,
collectivity as the bounty of the reapers' CHOPS,
sublimity achieves nature advances as its jewel.

TESTS question one's prospect of forbearance
while tackling the crisis giving an appearance
BEST'S a favorable triumph of transparence
file away any despair entitling perseverance.

Impassiveness spread

Longanimity

When storm brews in the yonder horizon hazy,
wild winds surge dark cloud across the smoky sky,
sailing steady on the old boat with unsinkable hope,
the ancient mariner in me endures the torment of toil. 

When the torrential rain pours from the falling sky,
the deluge descends on the landscape of my life, 
my morose mind drowns in
