Awaken...

your surrender, past the accustomed familiar
accumulating achievement of hours spent

Plan, prepare, anticipate, accomplish or adjust

Awaken
arise with intent
tend to your day

Hi Gordon,

Your poem reminds me of the concept that we only have a limited number of hours and days ahead of us in life...

It's best to be aware of it, and to make sure we are making the best use of the time we have, for maximum happiness!

(Sometimes easier said than done... As we live in a world with no shortage of distractions!)

Like sands through the hourglass...



Thanks!

Best wishes,

Dien
