Patience

~ Patience ~

The time has finally come for my heart to stand still

because it dares do nothing else.

A struggle for which I have no words and can find no

definition to describe

takes priority and control.

Words of advice as old as time tug at my conscience

and echo through my searching soul.

When you reach an obstacle, become as a river.

Do not force your way around but build strength

to flow over the boulder that is slowing your progress.

And so I've landed atop this boulder searching

for the wisdom and strength

to flow and not force.

In dreams I simply fly above the obstacle and watch

the current flowing freely below.

But then I awake,

with the boulder firmly beneath.
