Take your time

Open new doors

Wander through possibilities

Free ideas to be in flux

No future can be carved in stone

Along shifting tides

Evermore it stands to reason

To ponder why

Take your time

‘Smell the roses’

‘Look before you leap’

Land on your feet

-Camille Delaquise

This poem appears in RISE, Camille’s second contemporary poetry collection. Take your time considers openness as a form of wisdom — embracing uncertainty, reflection and measured movement as the conditions through which a more grounded and thoughtful life can unfold.


This poem is available as a contemporary poetry print on textured recycled card.
