to be

music on music 

books on books

plenty to keep 

my mind distracted 

from 

all the songs i should be hearing 

all the words i should be reading 

plays on plays 

wants on wants 

more than enough 

to keep my hands 

and thoughts  

too busy 

to simply do 

the things 

i say 

i simply want to do

now 

the time has come 

to end the consumerism  

to cease the hustle 

for something new

so 

find me a quiet corner 

pull up a chair

keep me afternoon 

come sit with me 

stay a while

share

all the stories that

i have been waiting to hear 

i have everything i want 

and all i could need 

now 

the time has come  

to be still 

the time has come 

to be
