Some things
Reminiscent
Of times gone by

As we try to keep up

With a never ending
Progression, and
A quite often felt
Concession

Of what we know
And want

Yet, we continue
The chase

Caught in a race
Started
Well Before
Our space was made

In this, yes,
Very beautiful place

We prioritize the
Next thing,
Without, maybe
Thinking

About the best thing
So,

When the opportunity
Next arises,
Think twice, and
Maybe choose

A space
That reflects

A simpler life,
Which is always
Calling

Even when we
Resist, nay
Persist
In the chase

Allow yourself
The opportunity
To slow down,
And open up

To something
A little simpler
