The Gift of Time (A Poem)

When time tells you it's time to wait,

When the trees tell you you're doing fine,

When the birds land,

And the leaves fall,

With clouds over head,

Sun shining through,

There's more to be done,

And you know it's in you.

But wait, 

The food you have,

The world of friends,

The voice of reason singing in your head,

Should I stay? Should I go?

Should this be the last moment in this treacherous reality?

No, not yet. 

Just wait & the day will come,

The time will be right & the wind will blow,

You'll have your sign, your gut right feeling,

You'll have your moment of sun shining bliss.

It will be okay, just wait.  

For years and years we ponder,

Of the greener grass on the other side,

We lose will to continue,

But we must face the challenge,

Live in the present.

The past is a morning campfire,

The future tells you to hunt for wood,

Try something human for a change,

Just stop for a minute,
Look around you,
Be resourceful & bake your morning bread.

It will take you places you never dreamed were there.....
