just the moon over the pines

"Do every act of your life as though it were the very last act of your life."

— Marcus Aurelius

The internal clock of the valley ticks

Until the hands click onto ‘summer’

And so it is that an alarm goes off

And summer awakes with a yawn

The fields are rich with crops

And the towns seem 

Full of people in short pants 

Smelling of sunscreen

Sweating isn’t quite a hobby 

But almost

Perhaps you have noticed that as you age

Time seems to pass ever faster 

It’s true and we can’t change that

So relax 

Autumn is but moments away

-James Lee Jobe

Everything is the answer

Nothing is the answer

There is no question

Just the moon over the pines

-James Lee Jobe
