Patience

ByRick Ellsmore

Patience

A crazy thing

What is it?

Why is

It needed?

Why so

Damn hard?

I knew

The instant

She laughed

The twinkling

Glowing essence

Helping me

To clearly see

I would wait

As long

As it took

Knowing she

Is the 

Pot of gold

At the end

Of my rainbow

The struggle real

Causing sleeplessness

Lonely tears

Moments of wondering

Not always 

A pretty sight

But always

With an eye

Towards the future

A future

Together

Early on

I stated

I’m a

Patient man

My patience

Will soon

Be rewarded

As I bask

In her

Eternal shine

Every morning

As she 

Radiantly

Awakens me

With her

Absolute sunshine

RLove ♥️

  • A Sunflower She Is

    ByRick Ellsmore

    A Sunflower she is Blown in the wind Born into unforgiving soil Forced to grow With little water Surviving on The extremes  Overexposure to The sun and moon Underexposed of their light Somehow, she grew Strengthening with each breath Moving forward While protecting A fragile heart Kindness being her Guiding light The North Star Within…
