Patience<\/p>\n
by Kay Ryan<\/p>\n
Patience is
wider than one
once envisioned,
with ribbons
of rivers
and distant
ranges and
tasks undertaken
and finished
with modest
relish by
natives in their
native dress.
Who would
have guessed
it possible
that waiting
is sustainable\u2014
a place with
its own harvests.
Or that in
time\u2019s fullness
the diamonds
of patience
couldn\u2019t be
distinguished
from the genuine
in brilliance
or hardness.<\/p>\n
\u201cPatience\u201d by Kay Ryan from Say Uncle. \u00a9 Grove Press, 2000.<\/p>\n
