Poetry – I’m on holiday

I’m on holiday

 

I’m on holiday in reality

Making use of every minute

So much to do, so much to see.

Packing everything in it.

Not a moment to waste

I’m only here for a while.

Look at the size of my smile!

 

I’m on holiday in reality

Soon I’ll be gone.

Just the blankness of infinity

It’ll end,

It won’t be long!

 

But what a privilege – to be!

To be conscious and see!

To think and wonder

At sky, tree and sea!

 

I’m making the most of this brief sojourn,

Even on such a dismal day with its dreary morn.

For the universe is a wonder to behold

Each moment worth its weight in gold.

 

I’m on holiday in reality!

Yipeee! Yipeeeeee!
