sweet patience

it's a balance 

between doing

what's best for me

and what's best for you

sometimes never

the twain shall meet

and that's ok

because the discipline

of caring for you

carries me through 

the darkness of me

reminding me that

the patience i give

will give back to me in 

its own sweet time

probably without warning

in a sudden surprise

of what once was

and what could be again

if only things would

let go

(blow)
