I Long For Free Time

I long for free time
Calm and
Unstructured
Fertile
Uninterrupted

Time to think
Reflect and dream
Time to feel
And breathe and heal
Time for good books
Good food and good friends
Time to dabble
With no clear ends

Time to create
To shape and to form
Time to imagine
Things out of the norm
Time to discover
And prioritize
To look at the World
With a fresh set of eyes

When I find
Such time
When it’s free
And it’s mine
I savor it
Treasure it
Indulge
The pleasure it
Promises
So generously

I dive in
Right away
Like I’m eating
Two-thirds
Of a fresh-baked
Rhubarb pie
With scoops
Of sweet ice cream
Dripping slowly
Down
The rough-cut sides
Of its deliriously
Delicious slices
