Chronos
Dear Unsealers,
Time- can have a frame
Within it, many things can be contained
Time- can never be restrained
It runs within seconds of its domain
Every minute is within it
It stops or its infinite
There are clocks of all kinds
Catch up or get left behind
But beware of father time
Some things remain some things never last
But what do you think about these little grains of sand
Flowing In the hourglass
Time- will be a part of your future, present, and past
You can have so little
You can have too much
I have never seen time on my hands
Because it is something I can’t touch
Time- can have an effect In many different ways
24 hours In a day
It can be a part of your healing, grief, or pain
Should I go or should I stay
There’s a Time for everything
But never a wrong time to pray
Over Time there’s nurturing and growth
Destruction or decay
Sun up or sundown
The only thing that matters
Is that the world keeps turning to circle back around
This makes It worth my while
Another way to tell Time is by looking at a sundial
Time can be used wisely or wasted
Once it’s gone you can never replace It
Maybe Time doesn’t even exist
And life just is what it is
Now this got me thinking
That the present is the gift
This thing ticks and it toks
It’s a tower or a wristwatch
Time-is needed to evolve
The cicada to do its mating call
Someone else’s Time is not parallel to mine
But we make connections
To see who’s on the other line
One thing is for certain either you do
Or you don’t have the Time
Better late than never
Watch the moon and stars appear
Time- is of the essence in our atmosphere
This could be your last ticket
Or your last shot
Either way sometimes
Time- is all we got.Subscribe  or  log in to reply
James this is soooo good. I have thought a lot about time and how it changes us – some ways good and some ways not as good. But at the end of the day, I think, as you wrote, we just have to be grateful for the moment. Thank you for this wise and thought ful piece. <3 Lauren

James this is such a creative piece! Time is so valuable. We all need to be grateful for the time we get to spend with others, the time we get to spend having fun, and just in general the time we have! Life is a privilege and we should never take it for granted. Love this!!
