And Then a Dragon

Hear surf?  Feel sand?

 " How we

spend our days 

is, of course,

how we spend

our lives. "

" If we take care

 of the moments, 

the years will

 take care of 

themselves. "

" Success is 

following the pattern 

of life one enjoys most. "

Our World Tuesday

We fear to stop

even for an hour;

We always seem 

to be running,

striving 

to catch up.

What if we

get left behind?!

Even in retirement

we hurry 

to be seen  

remaining viable.

But what if

we do stop?

What if we brave

that demon?

Is it a dragon:

fearsome

but holding

a treasure?

What we 

sacrifice

goes

to the cleaner,

returning refreshed

smelling sweet.

[like ourselves]

One may even

feel

'Good Riddance'

Get that monkey

off your back

Thank You

Friend!
