So much to say, but the time
has passed or not yet come,
so the words remain left
inside. Not waiting.
Listening
to hear if they are called.
Slow. Fast. Slow. Broken
Given holding. With hesitating
staying or no more now.
If touch means less than
saying, then patience
could mean saving.
But the now can still
be graceful and tomorrow
faithful.
