Translation : Dolce Far Niente (Italian) Sweet Doing Nothing (English)
. I sit by the edge
of the pool just gazing.
The water, nothing but blue.
Just deeply lazing.
With nothing to do.
Staring at the sparkle.
Kind of thinking of you.
Makes it such a debacle.
Suddenly then in a flash or two.
An idle sweetness filled the air.
I realized I wasn’t there.
Where I sat was
an empty chair.
Seems life had
passed me by.
I had done,
Nothing to try.
Now I say.
Just Today.
Lazy
Doesn’t
Pay.
