Patient – Poetry for Change

Accolade for my poem, Field of Wild Flowers

Field of Wild Flowers

What are you thinking young
Lady? You flowy, strappy, flirtatious
Dress is designed for sensuous
Activity, yet, here you are, alone, among

The throng of wild, colorful flowers
Framing your strength in fragility,
Yet, they grow without human intervention, happily
Bending to the whims of natures

As it storms or shines, they’ll always
Be waiting for your return to admire
Their simple needs grateful for the pyre
Of sunshine that peaks and sways

Into your hair, hands as you sit
On your picnic blanket waiting,
Admiring, grateful for solitude’s unfailing
Reset button that helps you stay set.

Review for my poem, Patient Timeful Warriors

Malak Kalmoni. Chehab Thats a Dang! Dear poet. Great circular trains of thought… The warrior as an antagonist alongside time and patience is intriguing, intelligent and strangely obvious and not immediately obvious at the same time… Any one who has served may resonate with this at a much higher level. Strong piece dear poet! 🙏🫡👍😃❤️

Patient, Timeful Warriors

Patient time sidles around knowing,
Knowing that you’ll eventually learn,
Learn that warriors full of brute force,
Force that turns into violent regret,
Regret that eats away your happiness,
Happiness that dissolves as its transient,
Transient time comes and goes, waiting,
Waiting patiently like the intelligent warrior,
Warrior who strategizes using patience,
Patience for the right information and time,
Time that’s right to act not go in unknowing,
Unknowing the dangers, pitfalls sown
By the hands of enemies whose joy,
Joy will be untamable at your fall,
Fall from grace, for you forgot that time
Time and patience have always been chief survivors.
