Seijaku

A coffee over the buzzing watches
Did once urge me feelings of grace.

Then they ticked and tocked away;
And was dumped down with all the 
Documents and filed signatures in
Unnoticable pile.

Only the sundials non-stop on a frozen
Lake, and I internally ache. 
Maybe twas a neuronal longing 
For un single pause - 

Then watch the unmoving objects on the ice, 
And with scrutiny, the glint of one smiling
Droplet…and the next… until a smooth and
Tranquil blanket encompasses you,

Then resume.
