Patience is Learned

Crunched eyebrows are softened by the sound
of water crashing, waves collapse on sandy beaches peacefully,
before the water is sucked back in to an infinite cycle
of traveling the world through the seas.

And yells across the way get carried by the wind
over to the man who looks for peace every day.
A struggle to return to who he knows he is,
as the call for joy exhales into the sky.

The irony of a man looking for his key,
as it’s found by a stranger buried underneath the sand below.
Good people are everywhere
and I’ve found my one, the only person I need.

Unprecedented emotion overcomes me when I think,
about all I have acquired in such a short amount of time,
But the oceans never change, as the waters circle back,
the only thing that connects all the lands.
