Idle Thoughts

Watching.
Waiting.
What for?
The sun isn't brighter
Nor the midnight darker.
Patience.
Praying.
What for?
The grass isn't greener
Nor the sky bluer.
Wasted energy.
Wasted time.
Why?
It's easier
to wish
and watch
and want
and waste
than
to create.

Pressing On

Time.
Precious.
Fast. Furious.
Blurring.
Once slow
and
patient.
Now
roaring,
bucking
without
a
care.
Just
pressing
on.
No
reflection.
Just
pressing
on.
