Busy

I haven’t time to pause today,
Not for petals or poems,
Nor for men or angles.
I haven’t time to pause today,
Can’t you see I’m busy now?
Busy doing all the things
That busy people do,
Like calling and answering,
Increasing and diminishing,
Living and dying.

Though I could stop
To watch the world,
To world won’t stop for me.
