Your Patient Bloom

I’m looking out at the golden glow

Oh spring, what do you know?

You teach me things in your patient bloom

In your eyes there’s so much room

Space to embrace each and every phase

To hold my wonder, to soften my gaze

I could sit here for days

And yet the day calls

My intention is to breathe this moment

In right now

To hold it close

Wow

Just wow
