Patience

Patience is
wider than one
first envisioned,
with ribbons
of rivers
and distant
ranges and
tasks undertaken
and finished
with modest
relish by
natives in their
native dress.
Who would
have guessed
it possible
that waiting
is sustainable -
a place with
its own harvests.
Or that in
time's fullness
the diamonds
of patience
couldn't be
distinguished
from the genuine
in brilliance
or hardness.

Hi Verna ~ not sure how I wandered by here this morn but had to stop a moment to say I think this piece[s] is FABULOUS! I'm very inspired by your hanging arrangement, too ... a good solution, I think.
