Pressing Pause

_____________________________________

We are all so busy

At least that’s what we say

It’s how we spend the day

We are all so busy

*

Saying yes without delay

So careless with our time

Intriguing paradigm

Saying yes without delay

*

Would it not be sublime

Daily to take a pause

And say no just because

Would it not be sublime

*

We are all so busy

At least that’s what we say

It’s how we spend the day

We are all so busy

Spring Daze

_____________________________________

The dogwood blooms in early May

Old leaves decay

Soft bees take flight

There’s more sunlight

*

New spring is dressed in subtle hues

Soft pinks, pale blues

Enhancing fast

As months go past

*

With rapid speed the colors shift

The change is swift

From pale to bright

With growing light.
