Two phrases we all use to describe the experience of time

One is patient, and indicates - we've not enough to climb
The other is the reverse, for it says we are way too busy
To share ourselves with others, for our life's in a tizzy

The best balance in life comes when we have no need
To use either phrase to express ourselves and our deeds
For we have plenty to do to keep ourselves well-occupied
But none of it takes away from desires to be by other's sides

When we have achieved that overall balance in our lives
Then we become at one with ourselves and the world's prize
For we then are in a state of mind totally well and at peace
And this equilibrium will inspire us to continually please ...

- Tristram
