Somethings Come Slowly

Somethings come slowly
like knitting a scarf
they come stitch-by-stitch
you have to keep going
tediously
it doesn't feel like
anything is happening.

Somethings come slowly
like mending
a broken heart.
Like healing
a bruised soul.
Patience and
the utmost care
gentleness
tenderness
soft words
spoken sweetly into ears.

Somethings come slowly
you have to step back.
Then over time
the stitches bring together
one beautiful,
complete work.
Something whole.
