Patience

Wait.

Do not underestimate

the power of a momentary

meditation on the sound of birds

in the evening. It isn’t too late.

Spare me the sparrow’s fate.

The sun hesitates on the edge of the horizon,

debates whether to saturate the sky

with colors we won’t notice, don’t focus

too hard on your breathing or you will suffocate.

So, just, wait.

For now, the silence opens its arms,

the page embraces whatever you choose to create.

Some words are born from love, others from hate.

Some creations are a mirror meant to permeate

reality and initiate a state of mind

in any one who looks in its face and patience may be

the next thing the world calls great.

It isn’t too late.

So, just, wait.
