Time to Reflect
By Caroline Benbow-Hunt

Back to Poetry Connect - Looking Forward

 

Time to reflect, look up to the sky
Make out some shapes as the clouds past by
Can you see loved ones or spaces so deep?
A pathway so high the steps are so steep

We are all as one under sky, moon and sun
Those that have all, those that have none
The stillness not calm, but life carries on
Birds are still singing, they have not gone

Key workers working above and beyond
All being tested but strengthening their bond
Time to reflect, what do we need?
Peace, love and harmony, certainly not greed!

We take things for granted but oh not the sky
It asks for nothing but keeps floating by
If it gets angry it calms back down
It cries very often to moisten the ground

Maybe a time to all plant a seed
To care for all others and give what they need
The sky says good morning the sky says goodnight
It gives us a rainbow for which at the end is a light

Time to reflect and think of all others
Think of the people without any covers
This is a time we must all try and beat
Our lights are the stars the sun is our heat

We are all so lucky, we all have the sky
Look up do, see the clouds passing by
The sun always rises to greet us good day
It sets the same wherever we lay

Take some time, time to reflect
Take time for others, a time to connect
Those being cared for that feel no calm
Time to reflect, hold their hearts in your palm
