The unpredictable luxury of time

When an unpredictable event turns life upside down

When the daily rhythm of life cannot be found

A new rhythm is established as you try to reclaim

Whatever normalcy you can, though life is not the same

If you look at the brighter side you see

That you have some free time unexpectedly

To think, breathe, and feel an overwhelming sense

Of gratitude in the midst of misery intense

*

In the aftermath of a natural disaster I find

Myself with some time to unload my mind

In my usual life, I am unable to take things slow

These days there is nowhere to hurry up and go

The luxury of time that I yearn for has been handed down to me

Under the worst of circumstances, but despite this irony

I am inclined to savor it and catch up on rest

This is how precious moments I can utilize best
