Time Traveler

The fractured light of day rises, so still And I am but a part, lost in its shade Question not the sun but the role I fill Find reason and wonder are ready made To follow days as a linear string And remember it has a final end To count rainbows and colors they bring Marvel at the symmetry of the bend Who am I, an intruder to this scene? One who counts time by the suns that rise Who lays upon Earth watch the life between Listen in quiet as stars harmonize To capture its rhythm, the pulse I feel To comprehend my time traveled is real 6/10/14

Dear Frederic, Just as with Deb, the "linear string" jumped out at me. Indeed, there are only so many sunsets that we shall see. This is a very intuitive and thought-provoking poem. Congratulations on your win! Love, Carolyn
