Everything Waits

The night doesn’t rush itself

The trees never do,
nor the house, the horse,
the reliable air

A hayfield is rocked asleep
by the moon

The stones and hills
rest together

I was always there
sleeping, but still
keeping watch

The day never starts without me

Well said. As the saying goes " everything comes to those who wait" there is no need to rush.
