we are too busy looking ahead to notice what is around us
the workers will come later today and erase what we have ignored
to find a calm place and recognize its value is underrated
cold grey clouds migrate as i pour another cup of hot black coffee
we’re so accustomed to the noise we don’t notice we no longer hear
stop for a moment find a comfortable place and take it all in
you’re not wasting time if you are doing something that your soul requires
as we turn the page we’d like to carry forward only our best selves
almost without thought we dismiss many things as not worth the effort
life is easier and much more enjoyable if we see the signs
