Alarm wakes me at 5
Doves coos are deafening
Sun ray yet to warm
Dew soaks the grass
Time is of the essence
Walking dog in the woods
No time for delay
Don’t disappear, not today
Kettle boils slowly,
Or is it me in a rush?
Car to the garage
Wait, time ticks again
Then hurry to work
No time for lunch
No time to stop, to breath
To think
Then work finishes
Time for a drink
Too tired, too rushed
Time to sleep
Feet don’t touch the ground
Tomorrow will be slower
And time will wait.
