Myopic

Busy now
Doing nothing,
Yet somehow
Pull all strings.


Do I know
What to do?
Time does show
How naught woos.


Myopic touch
Tells in kind;
More than much
Bind that blinds.


Look beyond
A fast fling,
Not upon
What time brings.


Who can tell
What's busy?
Idle spells
Thoughts happy.


Wonder crafts
A strange poise:
Curious draft,
Surge of voice.


Why not be
A style fit?
Drop busy,
Warm wise wit.

"Look beyond A fast fling, Not upon What time brings." Good advice.
