Life comes in so very many, many flavours

Sometimes it does indeed do us a favour

By placing consciousness into active state

Before our bodies are ready and wide awake



Take advantage of moments such as these

You can do wonders with extra hour to please

Yourself or some other within your inner circle

Or perhaps bestow your grace on a stranger



Someone not very likely to hear from you

Who'd be ecstatic if you e-mailed him news

So be aware an hour your mind indicates

Is extra - is a time you can use to state



Your own philosophy in regard to it all

Or perhaps a newsy piece which calls

Attention to the way you live your life

And opens doors to sharing, in that time



- Tristram
