Chewing on bittersweet coffee
Mysterious how life unfolds
A thousand iridescent words
Noticing each; act of patience

Rigidness melting like chocolate
Dreaming of tomorrow’s hue
“As if” the rabbit won the race
With tiresome over-exertion

Our necessities drive obligation
And purpose underlies intent
Rising to overcome complacency
Stepping at a livable pace
