In a slower and more ordered world
There was thinking in between.
Now news reports come thick and fast,
Flashing on the screen.
To analyse what’s gone before,
While new things intervene,
The brain now forced to take the next,
With no thinking in between.
–
A person standing deep in thought,
Something rarely seen.
A weighing of past and things to come,
Thinking in between.
–
Office workers in the street,
So often can be seen.
Are they only wasting time,
Or thinking in between?
–
Issues cascade one by one
With up-comings unforeseen.
Future planning only works
With thinking in between.
–
So, when next you see a person pause,
Taking stock of things unseen.
Give them space, proceed with grace…
They’re thinking in between.
