Time

Time Time rolls by - it quickly moves along, corridors, seconds march – silently ticking on, minutes take a stroll, they dance by as hours seem to flow, then swiftly, they fly. As for me ?, at what speed ?, what about I ? Am I - it seems to me – as slow and empty as the spaces ?, that exist in-between – the cracks – there, but without traces. Nothing am I or have done to fill those empty places, of times passing, between the lines, the numbers on clocks faces that have told us, life is short and we’d best be in good graces. B.

Thank you Upeksha Perera for the visit, for taking the time to express your heart felt comment. Glad I have been able to strike a cord . Black is my favorite colour. Took my ex Chinese lover to a tulip festival Good Friday. I did suck the life out of our moments, enjoying the Red Tailed Hawk we found along the road, took home, an hour’s drive, sitting on Xiao Lings lap as if it was the most natural thing for her to do. This oriental Beauty has been most fortunate to have petted two wild salmons – three years apart – and a wild hawk . Moments !!! B. J. “A” 2 ( Bill . )
