Random Moments of Kindness

A few details came up this morning
I crossed them off my list

wanting just to be alone
in a place out of the way

where the sun and sky give growing things
their necessary means
and the pressure of the shining clouds
holds time still for a while

as I feel myself lightly restrained
by a pleasure that's un-named

this basis for an outlook
that has been misconstrued
as disregard and disdain
of work and  other ethics

the preference of a slower pace
is not perceived by many
to possess intrinsic  value

but I hold myself ready
because the days and times
perfect balance occurs

are  random and rare and precious
