Timing is everything.
Regardless who hopes,
for more time and less
stressors, you'll eventually
succumb to a world in which time
its glory holds. Don't wait a
phone call it will eventually ring.
Don't wait for the snow because
winter will fall.
Timing is everything,
remember my prose.
Don't wait for nothing
because it too will eventually come.

Hurry Up! But don't wait! (grin)

Wish i could capture this theme in a song.

i.e.: If you aim at nothing.. you'll probably hit it.

i.e: reach for the moon, even if you don't get it, at least you'll be among the stars.

i.e.:  I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean..<<< what a great line!!
I'm looking for the same thing you are my friend....... inspirational.... "stuff" that I feel........ but the words escape as I stop to watch a flock of birds dotting the sky... like polka dots on cotton.

as I.... see a huge ball of orange color so huge in the morning sky, i think i can reach out and touch it.. (do they make crayola's in that color?)

Do others see what I see?? Do they notice?

and who invented "burnt sienna" anyway??  

The moments pass by...... I try to catch and hold them, but it's a cruel trick of time....

when you "look" for moments.. you'll never see them.  It's when you are living "in" the moment, that's you are allowed to appreciate the gifts while they are there.

I guess a good challenge poem would be..

"I look, but do i see?"
"I hear, but do i listen?"

and the most famous phrase of all that echos thru my life..... from the Wizard of Oz.

"You are not judged by how much YOU love. but by how much you are loved by OTHERS".  

(sigh).  anyone want to take this challenge?
