Mentor

Here I have been sitting

concentrating on sunsets and

Alfred Lord Tennyson.

While all around me

people have been rushing in every direction.

And now I am too far behind

ever to catch up.

But, I almost feel like saying:

Go ahead.

Run yourself around in circles.

And when you have exhausted your energy,

retrace your steps.

Come back to where I am.

And I will sit and quote you poetry.
