Promises made, promises kept

Until new vision changes mindset

And then the egg cracks and runs

For another has appeared unstrung



So you go with the very moment 

Forgetting all before this honing

For you grab at the prize offered

And enjoy only that - stoppered



Knowing there's no door elsewhere

But not caring at all for it's right there

So you absorb it all into mind and body

Not considering it may only be a hobby



Instead of an opportunity paving the way

To a bright future and a so much better day

For your senses have been dulled a little

And the moment is taken ... after a whistle



- Tristram
