03. Lovely

Feeling light and easy sure feels right.

If only for the briefest time

I can stop short, bask in the light

And not consider it a crime.

It seems to me we search out chances

To keep ourselves ever occupied,

But when come chances for fun and romances?

To obligations must we always be tied?

I simply need tangents to gallop and glide

Beyond limits of the everyday.

Of course I take stock in routine practice,

Living my life the typical way,

Yet I have to leave room for deviation;

In the nine to five I cannot stay.

I scale each mountain there is to climb

Breathing in parts of life so lovely,

Making the most of my Earthly time.
