Summon calm from the chaos to stay for a spell,
by what means you can muster, 'til time slips away.
You have much to discover, the omens foretell,
that a moment of peace may allow to display.

Find the spirit that's slept while the body has toiled,
to invent you a life, that may not be your own,
as the day to day problems in which you're embroiled,
vanish, simply by leaving those memories alone.

Somewhere distant is calling for answers, my friend.
Will you rush to oblige as you've done in the past?
To assign greater value than this will depend
on how long you would have this tranquility last.

Not so easily summoned are moments as these,
yet, once called, they are yours', to do with as you please.

I think I'll keep this one, if you don't mind...

I consider it friendly advice regarding a question of direction that I've been wrestling with of late.

Thanks.

Then if it's mine for a while, I'll enjoy it. Thanks for the momentary safe harbor.
