(dedicated to Ellie Sutton)
Just enjoy some time to yourself
Stop looking for something to do
Make sure you indulge yourself
Whatever you do with the time
It’s time to expand your horizons
And recognize your talents
You really need some peace
There has to be a balance
(inspired by Ravel’s Laideronnette, imperatrice des pagodes)
Time and tide waits for no man. Procrastination is the thief of time. Take the time by its forelock. Time has no beginning or end. One more definition of 'Time' from Ahmad Shiddiqi.
Again, you master putting such a powerful message into a smaller piece but every word was perfect. Very nice.
Great job.. Very nice poem
All things should be in balance in order to have a perfect harmony with the world and humanity...NIce write Ahmad.
Ahmad, timely welcome words. As a woman (not all women, mind you) , I now know that I spent most of my life tending to the needs of others, including animals. Of late, I've been yearning to do just what you suggest. For me, it includes spending time engaging with strangers when I'm out and about. Lots of laughter, relaxation and lots of learning are the results. Good medicine. Love to examine things in nature, ponder the what, why, where and how of life, too. Definitely requires leisure time and a relaxed state of being. I do think that you, based on your incredible observations of all that is, have mastered the art. Thank you! Carol
