Slice of Life

We are all on borrowed time
Yet we constantly search for
The next step in our climb 

Ponder pausing the pursing 
Taking a moment to slow down
To divert us from all the doing 

May realize how blessed we are 
Rejoiced to relish in the present 
In lieu of perpetually raising the bar

This sliver of time and space
Will only exist for a tiny bit 
Let's embrace the intersection
That the universe chose to knit
