Patience Is Not A Virtue
January 26, 2010
Maybe the sky will open up
and something will fall out.
I don't know what it would be.
Just a little something to tide me over
until the seas part
and I can walk on water.

I can honestly say that I have never seen a poet able to put so much in a short poem until now, loved it! =)

Wow, I love this. All of your poems a pretty short, and I like that. It is right to the point, and the last line is so clear if that makes any sense.

It's short and sweet, but full of emotion, and passion.
Thank you very much for your kind words. I didn't realize that it could be taken from a religious stand point, but now I see it. I'm not a very religious person, so I didn't even think of that. I suppose I may have with the seasing parting, but it was my subconscious. I think I was going for waiting for something big to happen and being impatient for it, so I was asking to just come across something that would make the wait seem shorter.

oh my gosh, i really love this. At first I was sorta trying to read it from your perspective, like, being really tired & generally stressed, and i got it from that perspective & could relate, but then when i re read it a few times i kept seeing different possibilities & seeing it from different angles. I really love it. Short, sweet, to the point, and yet it's so multilayered in its simplicity. Like, you could take it as the other ppl commented on it, as "it's the little things," but you could also take this in a religious sense, as if a little piece of heaven will come to you until you go to meet it. Then there's potentially the biblical reference to boot about the seas parting. Idk what you were initially going for, but this is awesome. :) keep it up, you're a gr8 poet

I really like that idea of something falling out of the sky <3 JK I know what you mean. The littler things in life that keep us going until we find that one thing that is different for everyone.
