Ma Nishtana

Tonight there is no urgency, no rush,
No need to be or do anything now.
The world is covered with a fragile hush
Admonishing the future for its row.
For now the panic and the need are both
Subdued and only seen perspectively.
This is the time before the massive growth;
The seed of it is all that I can see.
I know the day will come, and soon enough,
When everything will whip about at speed,
But I can smile at such silly stuff,
For now my soul and I are well agreed.
The air is still and cold yet I will smile
There's nothing that needs doing for a while.
