CO-EXISTENCE.
If through busyness there is no moment
to sit or stand
and look quietly at daffodils Spring will
have kissed its last.
Hot Summer\'s virility will have smothered
the countryside and still
not been marvelled at by a too keen time
keeper before Winter
de- leaves Autumn and its freeze begins.
Months, if not noted unobtrusively meld
each seasonal change
to deflect attention and years slip away
imperceptibly while joy
soon disappears off its missed agenda.
Clearly this calls for deliberate action by
abandoning chores,
closing guilt\'s doors then skipping into
airy morning\'s offered
shawl of freshly filtered delectable dew.
Stopping to hear silence sparks wonder
that has keys to mindfulness
where time unlocks delight by reviving
simplicity of child-like awe
as it fills listening hearts with its song
for by staring at nature
to learn co-existence souls discern laws
of shared sameness adorning life.
