Reincarnation

Every day is Groundhog Day...

This morning I feel needy.
I’m always needy,
but this day more than others.
I’m also lacking patience,
yet can sense the infinite patience
this world holds for me.

It does not matter
how late I sleep,
nor how many times
I trip on the bedpost.
The Universe waits,
offering time outside of time
for me to live my life
and to live it again,
until that day I become
that amazing purpose
for my being.
