there is time
for sunrises
and sunsets
time enough
to take a glimpse
up at the slow
changing of the skies
we can wake
we can breathe
we can look beyond
our looming busy-ness
we owe our selves
a little joy
some quiet
some peace
our eyes deserve
sunlight
moonlight
candle-light
rest
if your fingers seek
guitar strings
if your mind flows
toward poetry
if your lungs long
for forest air
if your skin yearns
for desert warmth
there is time
find it
make it
steal it
you
deserve it.
