Stop, momentarily,
'mid the hurly-burly 'time is money' hullaballoo
and quietly contemplate the sky.
Perfect!

Quote Inspired, 10-15 words:
Prompt: "Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted." John Lennon
Title is also a John Lennon quote - a song title I think from the Double Fantasy album, released shortly before he was shot dead, and this after a 5 year period of time some say he 'wasted' away from the music industry bringing up his second son, Sean.

I like this a lot. It's neat to see how much one can get across with so few words. The "Perfect!" at the end brings spirit into your earlier words for me.

"Watching The Wheels" is the song title and the line "I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round" is the actual line. A well written piece you have penned. Best wishes in life and the contest.
Peace in light and love
