Poem
Time is the master These are the words that I hear Time is the master My mother's words kept ringing in my ear Patience keep testing my soul Patience is knocking at the door Time is the master Time settle the score and time breaks the door Time is waiting to reveal the truth Time knows everything about me and you Time is the master I drove down the back side of the park where it was quiet and had no one within But as soon as I got there the demons appeared and the County school bus kept going round and round the bend with cars following behind them creating a disturbing nuisance in nature I crawled in the bushes to block out the distraction But as soon as I start writing the entire verse disappeared I did not delete it and I could not retrieved it I look around to see if anyone was there but it was just me the trees and the birds And instantaneously an old Caribbean folk song surface in the air "Come let us go down Emmanuel road girls and boys to break rock stone"start shouting in my head I sang for a while then continued my writing Time is the master Trees standing tall in the forest Trees leaning against each other bearing one another's weight waiting patiently for the master Trees of assorted size, fat , plump, thin and slander Short trees, tall trees getting ready to roll the dice Trees standing on stump gutted way down to the bump Trees that would make good firewood looked at me in silence Fallen trees lying in the same place for decades with decaying trunks and worms falling from their face The birds stand on their wounded shoulders complaining to one another Trees that stood the test of time signaled that nothing can uproot the divine Trees anchored in the ground for fifty two years sucking the life out of everyone far and near spreading and catapulting its branches all over the land captivating and confusing everyone They stand still waiting Waiting for the wind In which direction will it blow Only God knows How do you explain the nature of things Follow me down Emmanuel road To break rock stone and we will see how it goes Time is the master of all things.
