Patience

A teacher

---

Where does patience lie?
is it in the seasons
Does it come and go as it pleases 
Or stays with us once it moves in

Who is patient in life?
Is it someone who keeps waiting
Someone who keeps submitting 
Or burying himself digging graves within 

What is patience really?
Is it trusting in God Almighty
Waiting for answers 
Keeping our focus in Him entirely
Or is it understanding 
The one who keeps barking at us
When life keeps throwing stones as you  
Navigating it all having peace within

How does patience look like?
Is it biting your tongue 
When curse words arise 
Or maintaining calm
When violent lava threatens
To burst out from inside 

Who is patient inside?
The one who maintain a peaceful exterior
While anger seethes, foams and roars inside
Or one who allows the pricks and prods 
To go deeper inside 
Without breaking a sweat 
Or moving aside
Or making it change 
The definition of who he is

What does patience do for you?
Does it stretch you like elastic 
Or mold you like plastic 
Does it teach you how to become a mountain of magic within yourself

What does patience teach you?
Does it make you iron 
That doesn’t melt like snow 
But holds it altogether 
When the earthquakes rip your core?

How does it all matter?
Do you become a storm shelter
Where there’s room for all others 
When life throws boulders at you
Would it make a dent in you?

Think about this
Peace ✌🏽
