We tend to rush around these days
and drive in a distracted daze
assuming everyone observes
the laws while navigating curves
but last night at a traffic light
the sunset was a pure delight
so I beheld the splendid scene
despite the fact I had the green
when suddenly a truck of brown
flew right by never slowing down--
without that pause to watch the sun
my journey could have been all done.

so true - people gotta keep their heads up - even when rockin' to Clapton.
ReplyDeletewe never know what hesitation could change---great one rch!
ReplyDeleteThank God for your reverie. And for your lovely retelling of the moment.
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel...I feel like getting out of my car and just gazing at the stunning sun rise or sunset but i am in the middle of the 10 land freeway, so I can't ~
ReplyDeleteIt was a beautiful sky, the kind that makes you stop and appreciate life - good thing I did, now I can continue to.
ReplyDeleteAh, so funny. The sun continues to give life.
ReplyDeleteLove it when God slows us down to avoid a disaster. Sometimes we don't ever know why we've been delayed. It's fun when you see it.
