Where Would I Go
Where would I go
if not right here with little to show,
while at my laptop pondering the view.
Sometimes, I get so busily obsessed
with by want of writing I am possessed,
so oblivious of nature that I forget to see.
The world outside my window
filled with life and song not innuendo
and a garden growing fast before too long.
If life overtakes me I would be forever in regret
I missed the wonders of a songbird's quintet
that disappears and fades as the day progressed.
But blessed I am by some inner call
that begs me look and enjoy the beauty of it all
from the garden growing in the timeline of my life.
So for the moment, however brief
walk the garden, breathe, smell the roses like a thief
as time passes and may never be caught again.
