Patience
Reveals itself
As a dried-up pool
Endless anticipation
Beating down
Baking away
The drops of hope
That lead to renewed life
Release the expectation and outcome
And the flood begins
Renewal when least expected
Revitalization when least imagined
It’s time to dance
While floods of joy
Unearth what wasn’t dead
But lay dormant underneath
The too structured and unwelcoming soul
