Forever things to do

around house, in workshop,

garden, and on land,

often coming across incomplete

project that patiently waits

for life giving hand

to usher next phase

into manifestation, gracefully so,

as I'm unwilling anymore

during 'mature' years to

orchestrate something without finesse,

otherwise dangerous break occurs

inside mental, emotional wellbeing

because what's been created

reflects stressful process used

which often ends badly

with results viewed negatively

through hindsight, from seeing

how perfect solution arises

when given more thought

outside any urgent need

shouting 'Get it done!',

remembering journey is destination

and beautiful life tapestry

is executed slowly, enthusiastically,

following threads of joy.
