Syncopation

Wait.

Now abandon
your memories,
tasks, and questions.
Look around you.
Now holds as much
significance.

Transcend.

Breathe, and become
yourself. Do you
remember how
long each day felt
as a young child?
You are this child.

Feel.

Be a witness
to clouds, to wind,
to passersby,
to life. There is
glory in all
you can sense.
