Overtime
Every minute is a miracle, gran!
each breath a bonus!
Counting blessings becomes the business priority, as years pile up.
Why do we consider that periods of
sameness mean normalcy?
Is the yen for peace so potent
that anything regular, routine
equates with safety?
free of stress and agitation, ah me!
When, actually
Change is the name of the game.
The flex of flux and flow,
of rise and fall - up, down,
within and without, yin, yang
abstract and object etc
is patently self-evident in every cell, cycle, system and context,
macro and micro.
Bubbles within holographic bubbles.
And they all emerge from, submerge back to - are rooted in - somewhere;
repetition, not as boring, pointless
as it may seem.
The inching majesty of Time.
Inextricable.
If you were a multi-tasking workaholic;
it doesn't mean you always will be!
Even a type evolves,
revolving round and around
in spiraling loops of sacred artistry,
tho’ precisely designed, free-ranging
and creatively chaotic, open-ended -
still, it's finite.
What more do you want by way of options?
Isn't overtime enough!
