Patience Poem by Linda Ori
Patience
You ask me to be patient,
Things will work out well -
I sit here and I wonder
In this waiting room in Hell;
My mind jumps to conclusion
Should I trust or run away?
Just a little longer now -
That's all that you can say:
I have no light to guide me,
My instinct says take care -
I used to trust so easily
But now I must beware;
I'm standing on that precipice
About to make the leap -
I hope my faith sustains me
And the waters aren't too deep;
And so I sit here waiting
Cause it all depends on you -
I close my eyes, breathe deeply
Nothing else that I can do
Until you make your mind up
And you're ready to move on -
Remind me that you love me
More than life, or I'll be gone.
Patience is hard to do when you are in love and waiting for the answer from the other half...
What a simply structured and deeply felt poem about trust and loving. So gentle in tone and yet with an underlying strength which is leonine. You are a fine poet, Linda. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxx
Damn I feel spoilt. Not only do I get your fab poem, but Frank's comment gives me a new word for my dictionary! Danny

Ahhhh....the ole' Should i stay or Should i go, now.....I like this a lot, Linda....i'll leave another comment now, & we'll see if anyone wants to criticize this one.... Specifically, i like the structure, almost lyrical, as it is tight & crisp, yet so mellifluously fluid....Rhythm very much in sync w/ Rhyme...Fine crafting Midnight. fjr
