Sometimes the good is
Enemy of the better;
An impatient move.
Sometimes better is
The enemy of the best
Also impatient
But at other times
Rather than wait, strike quickly
While iron is hot.
Wisdom is knowing
What is impatient, what is
Prudent and timely
Or foot-dragging fear,
Perfectionism, or just
Procrastination.
Wise self-honesty
After that, we may never know
What the best move is.
Procrastination
Is still a move, anyway
And so we move, move.
Fear the enemy
Of good, better and best all
But it cuts both ways.
Fear of sitting still
And waiting in the silence
Is just as deadly.
