TIME IS RIGHT

Float into the future

with light feet

Do not tread heavily or

the earth may swallow

tomorrow

Let life unfold as it will

learn to hold still

until the time is right.

Rushing into the dark

out of fear

is never prudent

Learn to ...

take a breath

when impatience

tugs on your sleeve.

Beautifully put; an excellent subject to consider.

May I make one teeny suggestion? Consider: 'is never prudent' which I think gives the idea even more 'power' as 'wise' and 'prudent' are so closely related. I like the way it smacks you. Always with respect. Always.

Please advise if I have missed a subtlety.

Cynthia
