Inspired by Sit Here..thankyou Professor Gloom

You had time to do,
you were young
city time conditioned
the millings of the mind
like a prospector at river's edge
you had what it took
to maintain that hedge
gold nuggets of thoughts in pans of silt
it amazes me, the moments of guilt...

I mean
questions on how you spend your time
thoughts are skewered
with dandilion roots
from spring flower beds...
ask questions on existence?
how human souls are fed
time presses on
you sit less...
minds race away in time
or escape those chores.

you were born with time on your hands
thoughts took form
next to picket fences
as you spaded out those pesky roots
as you sifted for the gold
you asked those questions on existence
while neighbours asked you to sit
time pressed on...
your body stays less in one place
minds race away in succession

until your body will rest?
only time puts us to the test
