Stop, please.
Why in such a rush?
Alert your ears, quiet your voice.
A life grasped,
embraced, captured and
remembered through stories shared
offers comfort and hope
if listened to.
Knowing, to the core,
the world around us
is possible only through travel,
exploration and a mind open.
Who are we to say otherwise
from our stationary couch
and firmly planted feet.
Worlds surround us, call out to us.
Why not answer?
