Priorities ~

Of course, 

there would be things to do

but I know they can wait

when there is a bell to listen to 

and an evening to savor.

We can't just sit and stare,

there is a world to discover,      

but let me linger over the coffee,

let me finish a poem on love.

There are mysteries to unveil

and things to complete,

but the chiaroscuro before dark

is more vital than any task.
