Doing Nothing in the Here and Now.

Hurray for internet access ^.^ so our computer was nearly hacked - scary shit. Anyway I've had this idea for a poem for a couple of days now. Not sure how to write it well (as ever) but I try. Pretty much just trying to say that it's nice when you can do nothing with someone and still enjoy yourself. 

When we have time
to do nothing
we have all the time
we need
to breathe
relax
and appreciate 
not just little things
but everything.


For our eyes open 
to look 
and our ears
to listen
rather than stare
blindly forward
and waiting
for life to begin. 

Relax

Rest,
Easy,
Live ,
At a good pace
(ignore) x rated hatred.  

Bit shit. I'm tired. Shut up. 

This is Us

People together
comfort
easily
floating
around the room
settling down
on each person
causing a smile
possibly even
a laugh.

This is friendship
this is kindness
this is us
and each other
simply enjoying
the company.

Peace (The Body Has Time)

The sunshine is wonderful for inspiration :) I wrote 3 poems today, which I've never done while I've been doing this. To make life easier for me though, I'll post them over 3 days. As you'll tell by my next poem, I'm feeling pretty mellow today.... despite work load!

It's a mood when the body has time
the pulse slows
the senses take in more
rather than the brain telling them 
to ssshh and get on with working.


The feel of bare feet on grass
a bee buzzing
running a hand through the the pond
child like
refreshing none the less
just how green a budding leaf
really is
and the smell of sap on fingers
after a closer look at it.


Overloaded
not with worries or stress
but ideas
brimming
swimming
underneath the skin
once thoughts are silenced 
and the body has time.
