Year
I rushed frantically through the door on sudden impulse,
with the sunlight within taunting sunlight without a dual spur,
feeding forceful inner cry with supreme yen today especially though,
but of the zestful type which is so compelling on occasions,
a momentum that will not be rejected somewhat possesses me,
in seconds savoured for a logbook of that experience yet to occur.
what to relish, what to ignore isn’t a trivial matter,
I have this quaint established shop to visit as deferred objective,
one of several goals on a futile cluttered calendar,
why not spend extra time doing something novel and unique,
not just idle browsing but to purchase vital products,
a nutritious breakfast as impetus to hasten that decision overdue,
there is this massive major urge I cannot curb this moment,
is it I the stubborn person who must train themselves,
as if I were an athlete on a practice run for contests,
at the utmost speed attainable at such events,
the magic of the opportune moment is driving me,
mindful of fellow citizens whom I might cordially greet,
when a sprightly early start for this diversion presents itself,
the weather has an inspiring focus for this special treat,
familiar faces wished me fabulous fair fortune as I dashed,
on that journey between my home and this shop of enormous interest,
the distance didn’t somehow daunt me at this point as anticipated,
when the human spirit is as downright firmly motivated as mine can be,
immense tasks can be fulfilled at the most unthinkable speed,
achievement and it’s attainment are an ample just reward,
but at last I reached this charming green foodstuff shop with such relief,
those vegetables, fruit juices, cereals, so vital among the features including genial staff members,
they were elated at the presence of a total stranger in their premises,
we engaged so pleasantly with each other for a beneficial endless period,
I noticed that the morning was oddly sluggish for this business,
perhaps my custom was a stimulus of sorts for other clientele,
If that was due to that effort and outlay because I happened,
to be supporting smaller shopping units,
then a hearty ripple and a broad smile would be most apt,
the freshness of the produce on display was always an additional factor for me,
staff who were prompt, efficient and enterprising,
spotless clean floors enhanced this place as bonus,
without a fragment of hesitation I filled my bags with such utter glee,
I queried to myself this awkward question why I had postponed,
a form of purchase which partially based on instant human health,
partially based on a planet rescue motif
took such eternities to complete.
Why not honour a commitment without delay on any gesture of significance is my best counsel!
