Patient waiting

Wait
Love is limitless
No need for hurried, brow-furrowed scanning of the horizon.

Rest
But not in limbo
Not in left-out, maybe-having stance.

Now
Love is full
Overflowing, void-filling, satisfying.

(If you think that Love is empty, uncaring)

Pray
Wait on mental tiptoe
You will hear the sound of Love's arrival, out-spanning time.

Listen
To angels
Heart-gentling, pride-quelling, joy-spilling

Everywhere!
