Patience
there’s this guy
this morning
standing on an island
like a palm tree
and he seems in no hurry
at all
unlike the rushing waves
that surround him
on all sides
and as the boats wheel by
he finds the morning ray
and seems settled somehow
content even
like he knows
eventually
the sea will still
that boats make port
that a draw bridge will lower
in time
and he’ll walk across
be on his way
