PATIENT FEE
In a resistance
to what others will do,
lay the price of a struggle
to wage through
Strict discipline
amid towers of dishonor,
detour paths
toward journeys often longer
Tough travel on trails
unpaved but required,
is a triumph rarely recognized
but quietly admired
While the impatient
settle in safe patterns,
the prudent chart purpose
in crucial matters
Those decisions merge fractions
of pure meaning-
a patient fee
that is needed for believing
