patience is the most difficult to master <br />of all the virtues <br /> <br />desire says now and burns <br />like a hot quick fire <br /> <br />wait cautions gentle reason <br />make sure it's safe <br /> <br />but we have been in the darkness for so long <br />and we are cold <br /> <br />so naked and blind we give ourselves <br />joyfully to the flames <br /> <br />patience is what rises from <br />the ashes<br /><br />Mary Maxwell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/patience-6/
