On Taking Time Out

Sometimes it’s good to take time out,

Consider what life is about;

Why do we follow dull routines?

What happened to those childhood dreams?

 

Our hectic schedules banish thought

Each day’s minutiae make us fraught

We toss and turn, lose sleep at night

And worry; will plans turn out right?

 

Methinks it’s good to pull the plug

Let negativity go “glug”!

As old ideas should be chucked out

To show the world we too have clout!

 

It does take guts to rock the boat

But hey, such fun to glide and float

And if some squall should come our way

Tomorrow’s sun will chase the grey!

 

But sitting still and meditating

Never gets a gold star rating;

However, as the Ancients knew,

Our minds rule everything we do!
