Sylvia Coulstock Poet Rhyme

Taking Time Out

I don’t want to do anything today,

Don’t want to even try.

Just want to sit and do nothing

And watch the world go by.

Don’t want to be hassled or pestered,

Or questioned the reason why.

Just want to be still and quiet,

And watch the world go by.

Don’t want to be thinking and planning,

To be aiming low or high.

Just want to be lazy but content

And watch the world go by.

Tomorrow I’ll be back to normal,

The hands of the clock will fly....

But today just want to be left alone,

To watch the world go by.

Gershon Wolf June 26, 2018 at 11:02 PM A day, a certain feeling, well-captured. Often feel this way myself, Sylvia, … although I usually have to rouse myself, as duty calls. I owe, I owe, so off to work I go … Very, very nice write. :) gw
