Time ticks by us
We make plans
Look forward to the plans
Count down to the day
The anticipation often
More exciting than the event
And once it passes
We spiral into nothingness
Misery and boredom
If we do not have more plans
To keep us happy
Make life fun and exciting
We keep it full of things to do
Yet to learn or to remember
The freedom and beauty
Of having nothing to do.
