Monday morning’s here, the alarm goes off again A deadline to meet, a plane to catch, a meeting to attend We humans are damn good at generating stress But deep down in our souls, we all know better than this
Island time is a state of mind Where nothing's more important than being kind It doesn't matter where you are, you don't need the beach Set your watch to island time - it’s always within reach
Here I am on island time My biggest worry is my next rhyme I'll get things done, but I won't hurry Life's too short to fill it up with worry
The constant hum of the city, the roar of a jet plane The hush of a forest, the grace of a sandhill crane Pause with me a moment, take in these signs of life Everything’s connected, in both joy and strife
When your watch is set to island time, the important time is now Don't fret about the future, it will arrive somehow There are always lessons to be learned from looking at the past But don't dwell there for too long, today goes by so fast
Here I am on island time My biggest worry is my next rhyme I'll get things done, but I won't hurry Life's too short to fill it up with worry
So pour yourself a drink, cue up a favorite song Settle into the moment, it won't take very long Ignore the notification when the phone begins to chime Just sit with me a while, here on island time
Wow Vaughan Island time is awesome, just wish your Papa Leonard was here to read it. He was quite the rhyming poet himself although I don’t think he was quite as good as you. His were much shorter. Island Time, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t. As always your message is spot on and we all can learn from your words.
Where Are We Going Now?
