Let’s get back to basics,
slow down –
how did it get so complicated?
Let’s remember how it all began,
when we had time,
and there was nowhere else to be.
Let’s take a walk and talk,
sift through the past,
and remember who we are.
Go back in time,
to be present,
to be mindful.
It’s nice to stop,
and have nowhere to go –
no one else to be.
We all stand
so close to the edge,
that our reflections
are only a stone throw away.
Our words ripple outwards,
towards the river bank,
where you stand,
and as you look down
all you see is you.
Time is found,
when others are late,
golden moments,
that clear your head.
Don’t distract yourself,
or get worked up,
for waiting
is like buying time.
Savour these minutes,
enjoy the spare time,
so give thanks to those who are late,
it is a priceless gift.
Don’t run to your next appointment,
be late,
for he who is waiting,
will thank you for the time you gave.
