Wasting Time

Just another silly rhyme
to waste another bit of time.
I find that if I need a rest,
this is the way I do it best.

I do not have to sit and think
into my mind I quickly sink.
Relaxed like this I meditate
and writing enters through the gate.

The words then flow from off my pen,
don't ask me why or even when.
I feel they're drifting from somewhere
where love abounds and people care.

I find that it can soothe my soul,
this lack of seeking for a goal.
Waiting there while words appear
while all my worries disappear.

So now you've read my silly rhyme
you'll see how I can waste my time.
But everyone deserves a rest
so just enjoy what 'you' do best!

Very lite beat, but still 'real life' topics such as why? where do the words come from? for what purpose do they demand my time?and a surely that it is how we were designed. I enjoyed this and, again, related ... CayCay
