Patience
Such a pretty word,
however,
what one has to endure
to receive it
is far from
a picture of beauty
It is all powerful
all consuming
a tsunami of the highest
that forces forth what
lies beneath the surface
to cleanse and destroy
coming forth with a fury
but receding quite peacefully
pushing forth it’s tide
beyond what time has allowed
until it has broken you down
wave by wave
minute by minute
strained and tattered
until all that is left
is a shipwreck
of good intentions
