Bitter Patience

It came and I was happy.

I let everything go,

dropped my baggage and danced

like the rare sun showers.

 

But now the sun has set,

leaving me in the rain,

in the cold, trying to breathe

through the blistering air.

 

The sun must come up

just as the grass must grow.

But until then,

I stand shivering almost alone.
