Time

we think
))))))))) itrushesby
or moves
oh . . . so . . . slow
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .ly

we say
we must be
careful
with it
so we don’t
lose it

and then
must go find
some more

We think Time
can be measured
by ticks and tocks
of counting clocks

or saved like
money
in a bank so
we’ll have it
to spend
later

But, I ask,
is the ticking
and the tocking
the important part?

Consider
all the empty
spaces
in between

Tick

Tick

Tick

Isn’t that a
beautiful canvas
on which to paint
a nourishing life?
