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
