Slow
By Jaqueline Suskin
Remember first that in these bodies
we are simply a matter of cosmic reactions
Our days in this form may be limited
but we are time itself and infinite.
What we make will take a lifetime.
The sacred process of existence has one request:
try and accept that some masterpieces
develop over eternity. Our designs
are but bits that build a pattern.
The Muse lands with urgency, but there’s no
need to rush the making - we are the container
which protects the features of our future
and slowing the flood preserves the banks.
What ideas we deliver with our hands
may not be a balance of substance
or beauty, but with unhurried care
we continue to create the world.
