begs me to play
throws discontent at me all day
makes me annoyed
with plans and rules
wisdom blocks
Impatience stays
gaining new ground
momentum gained, she sticks around
tossing her curves
and growing strong
life delays
Impatience goes
where’re I go
follows behind a step or so
nudges me, nags,
nips at my heels
never slows
Impatience sighs
shouts in my ear,
“Hurry! move on! Don’t linger here!”
breathes down my neck
clears her throat
peace denies
Impatience pokes
she agitates
like fingers on a chalkboard grates
raises blood pressure
quickens pulse
pain provokes
Impatience raps
on tabletop
counts the seconds; tick…tick…tock
churns my stomach
makes me ill
vigor zaps
Impatience frets
when I am tired
changes to frenzy when I’m ired
needles by day
disturbs by night
fuels regrets
Impatience steals
much of my day
moments of joy wishes away
dispels delight
With anger seethes
love conceals
Impatience flees
from Spirit’s breath
knows her end; finds her death
gives way to peace
grows calm and still
Jesus sees
