Please do not hurry to grow up,
innocent days will pass like dust
in winds of time both swift and sure.
Bring me one more dandelion,
I'll make a wish for you to stay
within my heart if near or far.
If your laughter I could capture,
I would keep it locked in a safe
and bring it out on rainy days.
Innocent days will pass like dust,
bring me one more dandelion~
please do not hurry to grow up!

Dear Future Generations,
We were selfish and thought only of ourselves
This is why the ozone layer is dead, and you will soon be extinct.
Do not blame yourself for the abundance of rats and explosive landfills.
This too is our fault; we thought only of ourselves.
We were insane consumers, who bought everything in bulk.
Generations before us were busier; they did not have conveniences.
Everything was convenient for us – buying online was convenient.
Making meals was convenient, being selfish was convenient.
We thought of ourselves first, others last.
We were the first generation to do this, and you are paying for it.
We fracked and lumberjacked until the trees and veins of gold were gone.
Please do better than we did but hurry. Your time is limited thanks to us.
Sincerely, The selfish generation

Slow down.
Catch your breath.
Going too fast.
To where? You don’t know!
But you’ve got to get there. Can’t be slow.
Can’t be late.
Hurry. Hurry. You have to do something.
Don’t know what.
But you want what you want – NOW.
It’s all about you. Be aware. Be wise.
Slow down.
You’re missing the best while striving for the unknown.

You say you're in a hurry,
and you want to pass a bus,
but you have a li'l worry -
A hiding cop - a mean cuss.
The bus displays a stop sign.
You think you have bad luck.
To pass it should be just fine.
The cop wants you to be stuck.
Hold on just a minute, ace.
Best to be a little late,
lest a life you can replace.
Now, shut your mouth and wait.

Hurry, get there on time
Can’t afford to be late
The world never waits
Move, hustle, push and shove
You’ve a date with love
Destiny requires a destination
a solution, resolution
betimes reconstitution
Move, hustle, push and shove
You’ve a date with love
States of agitation
test maturation
rise above defamation
Move, hustle, push and shove
You’ve a date with love…
It’s over, my fool
it never was cool
the world's ever cruel

Stella was gorgeous, like a valentine box
Charlie got his boots on, to accidentally run into her
What’s your hurry? Asked his mother.
Knowing full well who was out there.

You hold my hand
aware of capacity
for bonding
hands can do that
fingers fond conduits
palms firm suctions
of secure presence
hands yielding
while they also solidify
the mystery of divine
grasp – adhesive nature
of caring touch, giving
while receiving
taking possession with
tender balance of freedom
Love need never hurry
ageless and timeless
the Royal Flush of Hearts

Dragon tea with just the right amount of spice
sipped slowly by the sifting of the hourglass
each flavor is a burst on my tongue, how nice
to be able to enjoy this brew of muted brass
With a glass mug the color of emerald gleam
I can easily sit and day dream all day
giving my frazzled nerves a break I redeem
myself, as I drink leisurely at bay
Its Chai with a tidy bite of cinnamon and clove
as I sample at turtle pace I enjoy every bit
of this awesome refreshment, love, love, love
it, its my time out from the world as I know it
no greater pleasure than an afternoon of poetry
and a great cup of tea that you just can't hurry.

Dog
days of
summer are
lingering long,
taking their toll as
lethargy grabs hold.
So I pray:
Hurry
Fall!

Hurry up my dear, now.
Hasten, I’ll show you how.
Habitually late!
High time, they will not wait.
History, you will see.
Haste is a courtesy.
Honestly please hurry!

Only wait for a timely opportunity, alike space on road, then gently squeeze in, it is not any world's job to give you permission to be you, only to tell you how much of you you can show, it is 100 percent your job to give yourself breath and only you control how prepared you let yourself become and how well you prepare your piece and when you show it. Two tricky points...let time and heartbeat of piece dictate its perceived effect, there is no best time. There Is absolutely however worst times, when it is times of distress or you feel like you are rushing...it is best to not show it unless you have the floor, even when rushingit is as good a time as any...you waited that long.

As we sat for a quick evening snack
A knock on our door came with a smack.
A thoughtful lady whom we adore,
Our sweet grey-haired neighbor from next door,
Brought dinner, dessert, and candlelight,
With a string quartet for our delight.
Living as a pair in a hurry
We forgot our anniversary!
