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
