I close my eyes and travel to
an unknown time and place,
where time spent with each other
is a gift-not a big waste.

The people really smile and laugh
and converse with each other,
a friend , or mate, or siblings,
neighbors, workers or your mother.

They have no phone affixed to them,
and meet both eye to eye,
or stroll along the square with others
until the evenings nigh.

They take their time and do not rush
remembering life may be-
so long or short or in between or
in the now......you see.

So when I choose to go there.
I will be in utter bliss.
And the people that may follow,
them or I- you'll never miss.


Goodbye my friends and family,
it's time for me to go-
but remember if you join me,
there is no return you know.
