What do you wish you could do more every day?

With More Time I'd Have...

More time to read, 
More time to breathe.
More time to notice 
the unpacking of a moment
before it packs up and leaves.

More time for quiet evenings. 
More time for musings at dawn.
More time for my toes to swim
through waves of tall grass
and wash off worries I've dwelt on.

More time to find abundance.
More time to notice beauty.
More time spent in thanksgiving
without the need for more doing,
learning how to simply be.
