more obviously

take time to ponder the obvious
'n conjure it's deep implications
for often details are distracting
they multiply manifestations

take time to ponder the obvious
the calendar's true consecrations
the secrets of the divinity of time
are revealed in such meditations

roads ever vary some narrow some wide
in the mirrors are not aberrations
but signs from the past that serve to remind
when it's time for accelerations

always reconnoiter wherever you are
what's in front and behind and up yonder
the obvious can help one to take the next step
and often that's something to ponder

so make time to ponder the obvious
for no doubt it has consequences
though it seems momentarily irrelevant
it governs every one of the tenses
