Fossils Of Patience

`All June I instill roses in streams;
I end up next season collecting
fusty leaves!
To retract or implant, disappointment
distracting my eyes`
^A brilliant opening stanza, which emphasizes patience in a unique way - couldn't have said it any better myself. Interesting word - fusty, I never heard of that until today.

A companion of wisdom
yet a victim of truth
^I loved this, it sounds like a famous quote, it's that powerful...perfect wording here.

*Planting a new mysterious journey
Igniting hope through me..
A companion of nature
yet a victim of life
^Loved the continuation of the metaphor...using the idea of replanting roses in the spring as they have died because of the winter. Also loved the repetition of 'A companion of... a victim of...' , love how it's kind of a paradox here.

POWERFUL ending, loved it! It's so true, once you lose your patience, everything seems to just fall apart. It's truly important to have in life :)

Great piece nana! I love the ending, and the truth instilled. I really like what you did with lines 8-9, 17-18 and 26-27. HOW CLEVER!

A great write nana!

Authentic delivery with enough raw, and simultaneously deep, insights to create quite clear communication
of your intentions..

examples:

"A companion of wisdom
yet a victim of truth

A companion of nature
yet a victim of life

A companion of patience
yet a victim of wrath"

"....there is somebody within me
always transcending (so-called) reality"

there is somebody within you alright..
.....YOU!

Seeking our balance is
how we stay busy
while being patient..

This is great you delivered a strong message that flowed so smoothe and as free as the seasons

It's only as you start losing hope-
you start losing your path

How true this is!! When hope is lost all else
vanishes with it leaving one in a hopeless
situation. While reading this poem it felt like a conersation within oneself..a deep write indeed.
