Some days I get through by focusing on the things I need to do. Some days I find myself counting down the hours into minutes. Seconds become eternity. Sometimes I can actually feel that space in between. That's when I have to stop and breathe and look around me. And I know there's a whole world out there. There's life beyond my front door, beyond my little existence.
There are children playing.
And old folks are dosing.
Young girls are going to proms
Young men are chasing young ladies.
We are all moving to our own rhythms
Some go off to foreign lands
Some reach for the sky
We are constantly trying to build
and expand
and take from the land
We need to stop
look around and breathe
just breathe.
Remember the sacrifices that were made for us
And appreciate the world around us.
It really is beautiful.
