Sleepwalking Through the Day

Sleepwalking through the day there’s a heavy price to pay Tapping into feelings within her opportunity gone-a-glimmer Friendships never formed lives never transformed Delicacies swallowed whole unseen flight of the oriole

I wish I had done more but I'm still playing catch-up. I try not to worry about it. And books. Most unread.

Agreed - very true on all of those - even delicacies swallowed whole - lol. Missed opportunities...a good reminder to be present.

I enjoyed your couplets, gw. We often miss many blessings in life because we are in such a hurry we don't notice the depth of the things going on around us. Your poet friend in Texas, Tex aka BB

after reading your poem, I'm glad I don't sleepwalk through my days. :-) Although sometimes, I'm so busy that I miss the opportunity to savor what crosses my path. A delightful read

Great rhyming. Sad that delicacies were not savored and I never thought of it that way. Sara K

I can see why sleeping during the nighttime is so popular. This is dreamy and lovely, Gershon. :)
