To pay attention

Most of the time my attention is fragmented

In fact I have often lamented

That there are too many things that need

My attention simultaneously, if I could be freed

From some of the responsibilities that I have to fulfill

If I could stop running on the hedonistic treadmill

I would be able to pay more attention to what I care about

I would feel more fulfilled in my life, no doubt..

*

My life is fast-paced and chaotic at best

And my attention is constantly put to test

Even so, there are moments when I find myself able

To give undivided attention to the matter on the table

My senses are heightened, I can perceive

Subtle signs and cues that ordinarily I believe

I would miss due to being inattentive

I learn so much when I’m able to give

My complete attention to the issue at hand

So much more I am able to understand

*

One of the greatest gifts that you can give, I’ve understood

Is your undivided attention to someone, like you should..

In a world where attention spans continue to shrink

Being attentive is a superpower, I think
