A Poem For Your Thoughts

I continue this blog with a different sort of post. A poem I’ve written entitled “Time”. As you will be able to tell by the poem, I’ve realized that time is taken for granted and it can be a blessing or a curse. Its a currency we all have the same amount of. Whether we “invest or squander”* is the choice we alone can make.

something to complain about,
something we lack, 
something we want more of, 
something we want back.

something that speeds up, 
something that’s slow,
something that lingers, 
something that flows.

something we all have, 
something we share, 
something we don’t always spend
wisely or with care.

something to kill, 
something to use, 
something that keeps the world together,
in tune.

something that endures, 
something that heals,
something that flies, 
something that steals.

something that’s constant, 
something that teaches, 
something that continues, 
time never ceases.

*from “Life Means So Much” by Chris Rice

This poem is dedicated to Mrs Marianne Kjos who, though in my life for a brief year and a half, was of great influence. Thanks for keeping me alive in Coral Reef. I miss you.
