Weight of finite upbringing and carved influences
vividly cemented thoughts order repetitive actions
most lacking lustre and genuine intent
robotic mode switched on enough times
anger, jealousy and irritation spilling out of seams.
Efforts persevere to deny and block negativity
The might revels in its well-reharsed stubborn habit
Tried time and again to pitch
Makeshift tents of compassion and affinity
The cruel storm of impatience breathes
morning, noon and night
Change carves with cold deliberation
Grace trickles in as hide and seek
mustering to fill the hollow
The umbilical cord snaps one day
chirping squeals of delight
toe of positivity steps in
wriggling room for more
Eh not bad, isn't it, nudges patience!
Compassion and empathy queue behind,
all padded for the onslaught
anger and impatience sedated to hibernate.
Mind and body substituting reaction with response
Subtle shift of thought and will to empower the pauses
Toddler beginnings for new tidings.
