look outside yourself
for twenty minutes,
breathe in the creation
find some inspiration.
not content to sit idly by
while the world speeds past:
green and grey and beautiful -
sodden with yesterday’s life
dropping off leaves and
into open collars.
leaky futures flood across
the backside of our minds.
cascade -
gently at first:
a trickle, a dribble,
a hand to hold.
lay down those sweaty palms
dry the crease of your smile,
for the world is full of wonder
if you stay for a while.

look outside yourself
for twenty minutes,
breathe in the creation
find some inspiration.
not content to sit idly by
while the world speeds past:
green and grey and beautiful -
sodden with yesterday’s life
dropping off leaves and
into open collars.
leaky futures flood across
the backside of our minds.
cascade -
gently at first:
a trickle, a dribble,
a hand to hold.
lay down those sweaty palms
dry the crease of your smile,
for the world is full of wonder
if you stay for a while.
