How often are you able to take the time
Take
The time
Take
The time
How often are you able to notice
The blinking first star of the inking evening
The criss-crossery of branches cracking the sky
The blown sand twisting like long blond hair
Take the time
To be there
Intelligent witness
Unpressured I.
Take
The time
Take
Your time
Don't fill it
Let it fill itself
Take hold of moments
Mark them off
How often can you abscond
With minimum cost
And watch
The pink pregnancy of cumulus at dusk
The pheasant ducking under the bent hawthorn
The dug dykes draining the golfing green
It forces you to realise
Your tiredness
Why you need to
Take the time
Instead of it taking you.
