Young bud, resplendent
fresh cheeked and tender green
not a worry
in no hurry
The Hours grow long, easily 
charming us with dappled light 
no rush, 
no rush 
Shadows stretch out, drowsily 
gathering moments on their way 
time and time 
again 
Bud to leaf, blossom 
to flower and gone to seed 
back to the ground 
Slow down!
