Catch a Moment…

I search for time, in doses small

The last time I wasn’t rushed, I can’t recall

I want to simply stare out of the window

Daydream, think, let the moment flow

Without being filled by a productive task

If only I could in the glory of leisure time bask..

Maybe I could some inspiration find

Finally satisfy that craving in my mind

To create my masterpiece in art

In reality I’ve not even been able to start

Any creative project because I lack

The time it needs to get on track

*

I find free minutes here and there

Then, before I’m fully aware

Something comes up to fill

That aliquot of time, and despite my will

To savor that time doing nothing at all

Into the vicious trap of productivity I fall

I tell myself that I would be free

Once the task is completed satisfactorily..

*

Thus free time remains a dream that seldom sees the light of the day

I keep working harder, and time just flies away
