Impatience

Thoughts In Time

‘Impatience’

Impatience
Is not
A virtue

It only hurts you

It’s puts you
Off course

You puff and
Shout
Letting out all
That’s built up
And full of
Doubt

Calm yourself

What’s the need
To rush about

Not caring
Not sharing
Not bearing
In mind
The affects
You’ll have on
Mankind

What can’t wait

Sets your heartbeat
At such a pace
Forgetting grace

Everything becomes
A race
To accumulate time
Into condensed space

Misplaced actions
Cause reactions

Into a maze
Uncontrolled haze

In the here and now
Is where patience
Is found

Set your feet
Upon the ground
Feel and see
That this is all
That’s meant
For you and me

Focus on a tree
What do you see
Grounded
Rooted

Swaying in time
To the earths music
Not controlled by
The state of a distressed
Mind

Complete in balance
Bouncing around
Like on a trampoline
Waiting on that’s
Not seen
Where we dream
And all is redeemed

What was achieved
On not waiting on
What’s meant to be

Can you now see
That impatience
Does not bring clarity
But the charity
Of learning
Self control.

    In all my life I have been patient and everything that I needed seems to have come my way. Impatience is just not the way to achieve anything in life.
    Great true write Kelly.
