No time

Contribution for The Sunday Challenge: Leisure (poem) by a welsh poet W.H Davies

"What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare."

Brilliantly thought out and processed, Sami. I love it. Now, just stop rushing around and stand and stare.

That is why since I retired I call myself a dreamer... taking time to dream is utmost important to me...
I love your abstract composition. Could frame it.

LOL - A fascinating work of art, suitable for our restlessness! It seems to me there is no way for you to stop and look at. Your feet just keep on running and run away, even without you! The picture seems to say: The human soul can not follow the fast life! ;-)
