Segments Of Time. Poem by Fay Slimm

Time seems naturally sliced into sections.
Divisions of work, sleep and play.
Divisions divide when you FEEL as you DO.
It's these times which keep boredom at bay.

Times to feel happy occur when you work.
Doing need not take all the time.
Stop for a second, look around and you'll see
Something somewhere that makes your eyes shine.

Then there's the need to give time to feel peace.
Essential in times where we live.
Give a moment to peace, feel it now deep within,
Catch the increase of calm peace can give.

Divide time once more into time to reflect
On misfortunes of others you know.
Send a thought-wave of sadness in empathy, felt
Only a moment, - and then let it go

There are times, we are told, to give our hearts ease.
We deserve to know how to excel.
Actions are easily scheduled, but please
Pencil in feelings as well.
