urgent patience: one moment at a time

urgently patient
always ready, never waiting
stumbling, falling, crashing, crying
reviving, surviving
zealous scheming 
always trying
hear the loving guiding
obeying or not
considering, enlightening
shining through every flicker

closer and closer
breathe in, breathe out
eye on the prize

​​​​each battle a weapon for the next
lick wounds for diminishing return, liability
assimilating experience boasts economies of scale
arriving in the moment while preparing for the coming dawn
this is coming alive, staying alive
this is fuel for triumph

Victory is yours for the taking.
