Morning Bagel
MORNING BAGEL
Consider this, as buds break out on trees
not yet a leaf, the sight that no one sees
as walking through the borough mesmerized
past ancient mansions seen, not realized ;
through early morning air, our sence of smell
arouses to a bagels morning bell,
it tells us to awake, this is a day
we gain another try to make our way
past tiny shops of books and pottery
of artists who record what used to be
and at sidewalk cafes, we take a pause
considering what's real, or never was.
We hear the groan of traffic come alive
the buzzing of our time and constant hive
but who can see the budding of the tree
that's made for us to always never see?
Consider this, of time we've none to spare
to capture in our heart the birthing there
no longer for a blinking of the eye
what time has brought along, too soon will die.
