It is difficult to see the hands of the clock
As they crawl slowly around the dial. Slowly,
Almost imperceptibly.
I endure the task at hand without joy
It would be so nice to have it done
And out of my way and then, I would be able to enjoy
My day.
I hurry through each opportunity looking
Wishing, wanting, hoping, for the next big thing
To come to me so that I can escape what I think
Makes me unhappy.
There are times when something anticipated
Weighs upon your thoughts and hampers
Your ability to focus on and appreciate the opportunities
Of today.
Finally, that anticipated moment arrives,
You examine your thoughts about it
And marvel at how it was so anticipated and how,
It came so quickly.
What is most amazing about it's arrival is how
You begin to anticipate what is coming next
And, you fail to take the present anticipated opportunity
And savor it.
