In the Spacious Green
Cutting through directly
across the stream of endless traffic
I arrive in an instant
on the median
calm, still, at peace
in the spacious green.
How can it be such a fool
has such opportunity?
How can it be such a direct path exists?
Everyone else whizzing past
glimpses this space
but cannot stop
imbedded in the flow
as they are
bound to journey
from here to there.
So fast they go
compelled to race along
ever faster
a blur in the mind’s eye
while I have simply ceased
at peace
in the spacious green.
