stop a while

a little non-conformity . gillian richards . relief print


I suppose you knows
the way today goes
is to look past my nose
all the way to my toes

and line up the lessons
in subsequent rows
then take a deep breath
and face tomorrows

and ponder life’s hugs
and question its blows
delight in its joys
and weep for its woes

I suppose you knows

and line up the lessons

then take a deep breath

and face tomorrows

      and question its blows

      delight in its joys

      and weep for its woes

      and line up the lessons
