Light Hearts and Heavy Loads

Market day patience
Soft light for light-hearted friends
Heavy load their throne

Confined egress
Narrow field of view
Yield to oncoming traffic

Move ahead
Nonetheless

Patience and tenacity

Against the grain
Of resistance

Light beyond
Illumines new roads
Suggests possibilities

Beacons complement
One to guide
One to illumine

The fog competes
Beacons diminished
So blares the horn

What those of the sea
Cannot see
They hear

Don’t stand too close!

I came for sunrise
Woke early for
Golden hour glory

Instead, the fog
Cast a shroud
A pall upon the morning

Patience
The sun will out
And so it did

A moment, perhaps
More glorious
Than the moment sought

Expectation
Patience
Adaptation

No matter the words you say
No matter the things you do
All paths lead to you

A golden destination
Partially concealed
In unfathomable
Possibility

I remind myself
Time and water
Carved this canyon
From solid rock

Though patience
And softness
Cannot resolve
Every problem

The peace flowing
From their practice
Bears a reward
Of its own

As I watch
The sun set
Upon the stone
The river cut

Desert is my mantra
Distractions few
But for the wind that is breath
Breathing slowly, deeply

Patience is the desert
Eons shaped it
Storms come and go
Then desert returns to itself

Desert surprises
Not always hard sun and heat
Comfortable in the cold grey
Vivid hues follow a spring rain

Lifeless seems the desert
Lively to those who choose to see
Quiet in harmonious balance
Patient, resilient, and supple

Patience is
A wide shallow beach
Reducing the furious sea
To a gentle
ripple

He waits
In silent patience
For orders
From the terrace
While a surreptitious lens
Captures his composure

Against both tide and current
Headway slow and steady
Though the river hurries by
