Busy
by Mary Ann Taylor, on industry
Why is it--
sleeping waking playing serving
meals for many or just one
buying selling hurrying scurrying
How can we--
cleaning dishes kitchens closets clothes
persons working typing teaching driving
loving, in time and after
Remember--
praying, always, all ways, organizing searching
pondering attending, to details, temples
holding hearing learning
Those things--
reading visiting repairing preparing finding
taking out putting up planting, lost shoes
sighing trying
the One thing
painting singing sowing reaping
watching walking cheering grieving breathing
life
Left
aching resting tending blessing
folding, snowy diapers younger arms
whispering shouting crying laughing
sharing hearts full helping
Undone?
