Patience, you slay me
with your silence.
No answers, no exit, no relief
for months.
Yet every day you sit beside me
as we watch the sun rise again.
Poetry
Five Minute Friday: Abandon
This poem was written in five unedited minutes on the prompt “Abandon” for Five Minute Friday.
Far too long
I’ve sat on this branch
waiting for the perfect time to jump.
Five Minute Friday: Slow
This is a poem written in five minutes flat, on the prompt “Slow” for the Five-Minute Friday linkup.
Slow is a breath of fresh air
after writing for days and days,
copying, pasting, editing, sending.
I open the front door
and step out into February sunshine
seventy degrees and breezy.
Five Minute Friday: Weak
Writing for five unedited minutes on the prompt, Weak. Thoughts about my new book on the fruits of the spirit.
When my love is weak, apathy spreads.
When my joy is weak, irritation climbs.

Breath of Life
This wait is crushing
