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
