Traffic Lights and Life, a poem

Traffic Lights and Life

Waiting, patiently with movement across the path, to pass
longing for the wait to be over and life to move on;
this time is measured, and measure it is, by the lights time
Red light, green light … go, but aware of the yellow we start and slow

Measured are our lives, by what we do and the time it takes
Our lives are green with envy, red with desire and yellow with fear
Not whole, but unfinished are those left standing, waiting
Overly patient and or not having the courage or the gear

That is, not for the creative lot, they will press ever on
And by pressing do more, achieve more and worry less about the light
 Loving to live, building dreams, daring themselves and friends to move
They are in between the time measured signals, shinning, blinking in flight
