The hourglass tips and time spills
out of pocket watches as the sun goes
from low to high and nothing is still
but all the beauty in the world knows
that the repetition of being occupied
and filling cracks with empty endeavors
till the moon glows and the sun subsides
to acquire diamonds that say forever
will never satisfy or soothe
quite like the presence you feel when you
STOP
AND
LISTEN
