From Sound Comes...

these words written 7/12/07 at 7:50am.

Don't let the seconds rush by.
Make them count in the here and now,
for there is still time.

I will say, without delay
that I've taken the morning for granted,
ignoring the sounds outside
that beckon me to rise
and begin another try
at a better life.

For you can only improve on yesterday
if you make a move today.
Otherwise, you might as well stow away,
and forget about pushing to the next level,
where moments are realized and explained for benefit,
for perseverance and other such processes.

Proceed to rise with the sun just barely missing your eyes,
knowing that it's not about repeating actions tested and mentioned
throughout the busied mind;
but about not letting the seconds pass by
and doing what is needed to show balance.

That means calming breath, easing those second-guessed intentions
without so much as relying on that fourth dimension
that easily makes way for additional distractions.

To say we're distracted by time is right on the button,
but that doesn't mean we have to be swept away in its meaning;
only its application.

How this all relates? No longer will I take the morning sun for granted.
