It is hard to put your head down and wait
When you’ve become used to gratification immediate
When the lines between need and want blurred have become
Having to wait for another time seems cumbersome..
*
I had always been an impatient person
Hungering for results as soon as I’d begun
When the desired results I did not see
I would abandon the path totally
Of course it got me nowhere and my life became
A series of abandoned projects for which my impatience was to blame
*
Maybe it was age, or the unpredictable world around me
That taught me the importance of waiting patiently
For life to unfold, while I kept working, improving my skills
With the hope that someday my goals would be fulfilled
I have not reached any goalposts but at least I have not
Given up projects started, I think I have progressed a lot..
*
It takes time to arrive at the right moment
When you can strike the iron that is hot, fulfill your intent
If you have patience, and work steadily towards your goal
At some point you may witness your ambitions unfold
But if you are impatient, that moment might stay
Perpetually elusive, never come your way..
*
I do not know what tomorrow has in store
But patiently let me work on my goals some more
Passion...unbridled
