Il Dolce Far Niente

Il doce far niente - - -
the sweetness of doing nothing

That's my conviction
as I'm living

life as a Poet.
It feels as if

I'm doing something constructive
as I work on poems

Time passes so swiftly
It's like I'm

encompassed in a dream
while I go about

my daily ritual.
It's a sensation

of serenity, contentedness
that goes beyond

mere expression with words
It's casual and concrete

all in swift actions
that lift me to a higher loftiness.
