There's a Better Way to Live



A poem came to me out of the blue this morning.

He says to me
There's a better way to live
Can you believe it?

Not sure what he's talking about
I try to listen
But my phone keeps ringing

I like the guy - he seems nice
Something about trees
Something about time

I hang up the phone
It looks like rain
It's going to take forever to get home

He doesn't seem concerned
Maybe I'll check the forecast
He talking, but I'm looking down

He's saying to me
There's a better way to live
I tell him maybe later
I've got errands to run
