Walk slow…this come and go affair of care-worn wake and
sleep surprise
Is hewn where petal-bliss is strewn ‘neath heath of blue cloud-flowered
skies
Look deep…into the heart of lilied art; God’s dew-gem diadem
Deserves more than a passive glance and dance on earth’s bedazzled
hem
Listen… a christened orchestra conducted imperceptibly
Spills warbler trills and leafy zephyr sighs in perfect
harmony
Touch soft…the croft of season that soon gathers in time's ordained
due
Pity the passenger that while reaching, misses the present
view
Let go…though tears flow for the soul-sweet 'oh' that stole our very
breath
Walk slow, look deep, listen, touch soft then let go…such is
life to death
