Slo Mo

the morning starts
in slo-mo
unless you eye the clock
as I'm not oftly
prone to
as I sit here in this frock

the sun and shadows
stagnate
their brilliance is
well borne
to rest or go’s a
stalemate
my decision is
quite torn

tall blades of grass
give greeting
to the breeze they
softly wave
the sun is mesmerizing
the cat’s become
a slave

she bathes and stares
its warming
then turns for stroke
of cool
she cannot stay
a fortnight
it’s quite against
cat’s rule

Then I, alas, must
give in
relinquishing
my sway
tho she continues
gazing
I must commence
the day

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Could relate to this little optimism...
Hard starting sometimes, even in the presense of wonderful.

Come on!  Kick the fires, and light the fires!  Wake up, your bound to be missing something that you'll never get back.  Get out.  Get going.  Really, I need to take my own advice.  See ya!

Nice, warm write.  I enjoyed it.
