Patience

this morning

this title introduced

through some separate

synchronous readings..

the question right now

how might patience

assist with this poem..

might it be

better to stop

stop writing just now

allow some gestation

some quiet perhaps..

resume in minutes,

or hours or months..?

hesitation quite brief 

and rough writing began..

still the end
that distant goal

an insistent completion

seemed to delay
blocking the flow..

did a fear arise

prompted by 

a finish out there..

that this poem will

never find ending..?

will likely end

as discard and refuse..

a walk.. reliable antidote.. 

there does seem

in those sometimes

an effortless flow..
other times 
impatience a mooring

so patience might grow..?
