Patience

Drifting to leave, Floating to rise
Falling so fast, away from the prize
Soaring to reach, gliding to rise
Flying too low, trying to despise

Rocking to ease, resisting to protect
Giving-in to feel, letting-go to reject
Closing to open, shutting to protect
Curling to soothe, trying to inspect

Sleeping to cure, thinking to find
Releasing to resolve, relaxing to unwind
Crying to express, endless tears to find
Eating to clarify and to speak my mind

Weight to gain, patience to know
Kilo's to have, a face to glow
Cheeks to fatten, benefits to know
Waiting for the time I can let my world grow.
