Talks, arguments, debates
Yet what goes completely missing
Is the beauty of sweet interactions
Creating the human bonding

Tourism, airlines, cruises, travel
The mad rush to capture moments
Too busy to assimilate, while
Uploading snaps with comments

The crazy bustle of human existence
Taking you on a new high
Each day that you live
While heaving great sighs

For in the midst of this make believe
You know one thing for sure
That you are missing out on something
Sublime, pristine, pure

Time is simply not available
Yet time is what you desperately need
To be able to appreciate beauty
Before you go to seed

To be able to drink with your eyes
And see with your heart
To enjoy the earthly treasures
And to set you apart
