Being Impatient 2/10/2023

Foot tapping
Pacing up and down
Being impatient
Cuz your bored
And don’t like waiting.

So many times life
Has caused you to
Hurry up and wait
To do nothing
Causing you to think
Erratically
Which creates anxiety.

So how do we stop
This silly madness
Tis our choice
On what we do
For this.

Patience is a virtue
Odd words you say
But finding stillness
In chaos
Uses mindfulness
And perception
Shifting.

Choosing to relax
And breathing deeply
Allows the thoughts
To soften willingly.

Tis a practice
For anyone
Who wants to learn
The elements
Of deep relaxation.

As each space
Between
Each breath
Surrenders
To the heart
Releasing gifts
Of listening and loving
As a way to find joy
All year round.
