Reminder to Remember
I.
At the beach in the morning:
Feel the glinting magic
of the sand
and resonate
with the millions of minuscule
gleaming warm grains
compiling to form
a part of the world;
an element to more.
Hold this feeling
with fascination
as long as possible
until the spumous whispers
of the waves
say farewell for now.
II.
The return to daily life :
A To-Do list forms.
Obligations arise.
A gust of time
blows by
dizzying the day.
Following orders
of the imperious mind
perspective fades away.
III.
In the evening before bed:
Mind is running
a day ahead
until lassitude leads
to slumber but
before drifting into dreams
I notice the remnants of sand
on my clothes
and see the abyssal sky darkening
like a reminder to remember
that those moments
with no product or productivity
activity or reward
Those moments mean something
too.
