Pay attention

When the world turns
Upside down
And it seems
My part is
To take a sabbatical
See rhe world
From a different angle
Breathe
See the redbud
Out the front
The crab apple
Out the back
Breathe
Hear the cardinal
Out the front
The buzzy bird
Out the back
(I wish I knew
The buzzy bird's name)
When the world turns
Upside down
Like now
I take a sabbatical
Watch the trees bloom
Listen to the birds
Sing.
Pay attention
Breathe.
