Perhaps

It may seem today’s world

spins faster than is fair,

and all that everyone has

to do

gets way too hard to bear.

We are all Floyd’s rabbits

running to the sun.

Just stop right now. Stop it.

Life should also be for fun

“Fun? What is that?” you ask.

And it’s easy to forget.

So, start with the absolute simplest things

That might help you reset.

Perhaps it is! Yes, the simple things

which we overlook

that keep us firmly grounded

in any philosophical book.

Count out all those life bits

you would sorely rue.

If they’re not within reach

then what would you need to do?

Pause. Just stop.

I need a cup of happy please,

full of sugar and cream.

Make sure it has foamy tenderness

and on top a sprinkle of dream.

Perhaps on a plate at its side,

a cookie of comfort and love.

Yes, that will do for my morning tea

to show I've got smiles from above.

A smile. A drink. Something sweet!

A breath. A talk. Some space.

Silence or a song to hear,

could help you find your place.
