Stand and Stare

"What is this world ,
so full of care,
There is no time
to stand and stare"

Look the time has come to a halt-
Stand and stare at what is on offer,
Sunrises and sunsets
Afternoons and evenings

Least heard
Murmurs of something always close,
But never felt
Leaving early for work
Forgetting to say good-bye
Forgetting to look back
I realise its now a substantial presence.

The day I planted it
It was a tiny sapling
I looked at it today
Its a full grown tree.
