Slow Savory Pace Part Three
Poem~Prayer:
The long, lanky blade of grass
waved at me,
While the gray, white cloud-crowded sky
muted-ly looked on.
Next to me, the man fixed his gaze on his phone
while he fiddled with his radio.
Next to me, some a car zoomed past
the sound of acceleration ringing in my ear
and the blade of grass bent suddenly forward.
All around everyone was
Racing
Running
Hurrying and Scurrying
Fleeing like the White Rabbit in Wonderland,
"I'm late...I'm late for a very important date."
What is important?
Critical or crucial?
Necessary and needed?
How do we discern, decided amid the din/dashing of life?
Late
Behind
Breathing heavy
Frayed
Frazzled
Even bewildered by the complexity, perplexity of life...
But that blade of grass still waving at anyone who would notice.
As if to say and suggestion there is another bewilderment that can bless.
Amen.
