Impatience

More about Impatience

Impatience
at ruin
and suffering
is long lived
by so many.

Our cries and
wailings feel
like they are
falling on deaf
ears.

Our poundings
and thrashings
meeting no solid
ground or door.

How to make
sense of it all
beyond our
reach.

Platitudes
given—but
not soothing
or healing to
the wounds and
sores from the
Living of Life—
often having
quite the
opposite
effect.

Yet there Is the
Brilliant Gaze
of the One
that gives
moments of
Peace,
Feelings of
Healing
That do reach
to the depth of
ones heart
and soul,
a settling,
drawing in
of Beauty
which at the
very least
allows a deep
breath of Life
to begin again.

This is when one
needs remember
to come back,
to make eye
contact, over
and over, again
for life always
comes in cycles,
each has its turn,
and this turning
is what makes
the whole, the
Whole of Life.

In response, and inspired by a poem within the book, THE GIFT, Poems by HAFIZ, The Great Sufi Master, Translations by Daniel Ladinsky.

Now a song, thanks to riffusion. Link below if you would like to give it a listen. : )

Certainly not to say I am a master or even an apprentice in any way of poetry or mystical insight—all is simply a creative endeavor to see what my own mind and heart may say of the poem, to try and put it into my own words, or simply to respond to the ideas set forth by HAFIZ, and translated by Daniel.

(My apologies, this footnote will be repeated as I intend, at least presently, to continue in this mode for awhile. I am quite curious how AI will interpret things and how I may work and play, tweek words and such to perhaps change the direction AI is taking, in the end, hopefully to make a dream worthwhile sharing.)
