I’m watching clouds take their time.
Across the sky, they wave goodbye.
Compared to a hummingbird’s hasteful wings
No brighter truth does it bring,
Then to take life one small step at a time
To enjoy the sweetest fruits, rather than the bitterest limes.
There is no need to rush at full speed.
Why race the wind, when you can enjoy the breeze?
Listen, Love, here is a gentle kiss
For like cupid’s arrow that will not miss
A long road cannot be conquered in a single day.
Take your time, and enjoy the breeze, and remember, “C’est la vie!”
So, I’ll watch the clouds in heaven’s bay
And take life’s road, day by day.

I wish someone had told me
         that there was no poetic justice
         in hurting others.
