“quiet din”

I've traveled many
long roads on my way to get to today,
and one thing I've
learned in fighting this fretful fray,
There is only one
speed on this highway of strife,
'full forward' is
the only true speed in our life,
the main problem is
when I think it's all about me,
I forget to listen
to the bark of each sacred tree,
and cast my eyes to
my short future to see where I've been,
and forgive myself
for all the ways I've sown sorrow and sin,
but nothing is
perfect, we do what we can,
to share our small
joys around the flat frying pan,
and when we allow
ourselves to reflect in the glass,
and take some small
credit and come to terms with our ass,
and do what we will
to appreciate the big gift,
and never allow our
fair spirit to far drift,
and think we have
the answer to the mystery we are in,
but thank Creator
for each minute spent in this “quiet din”.
