Observance

Years flying by like the days of the week A blurring bullet train Moments memories hardly time to cement A record to fully retain I understand that being mindful of The nuance and play of the light The aroma and sound of each unique event Will serve to set this aright In a car crash once I saw time slow down to a frozen molasses crawl I know it's schedule is flexible this thought I share with you all Languish at a cup of tea Loiter at what brings delight Ask what does this moment afford me cool pink morning star lit sultry night The laughter of children anyone's Not constricted to those you begot Let their merry hearts once again carry you to places you thought you forgot Take it in take it all in Luxuriate in this your life A caution don't give in to shutting down Should you be encountering strife When you in offense shut out the bad You shut out the good you know See it acknowledge it let it go looking for good to sow Your head will rest light on the pillow that is not stuffed with regret Rest deeply knowing tomorrow Will bring wonders you haven't seen yet
