Stop and stare* - OneRepublic

Been so busy - and resulting in feeling so so tired. Being deprived of a basic human right - the right to leisure.

I just wish i could go fly away, and just rest. Take time to let life pass by without having to juggle so many things at the same time.

I thought of this following poem(?) which i blogged about in one of my old blogs.

Leisure by William Henry Davies

What is this life, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stop and stare

Pic taken during one of the moments in my life when i could do was just to sit and stare! (taken near the tip of Borneo in Sabah).
