Attention of a Universe

Time is a parse of moments – 
each life a chronicle of ticks
and tocks, our deeper mystery often
obscured by the clang of our clutter – 

we live by terms like stops and starts...
the in and out racket of hearts – truth 
somewhere impaled amidst the overlooked
silence, shouted down by riotous echoes

Caught up in the hustle and bustle of of lives, we can lose sight of what's important, Joe. Your poem is a wonderful reminder of the truth within the silence. Best of wishes, Evelyn

Wow! What a profound write, Joe! I love the way you've presented Time, Truth, and Silence. Certainly the clutter of our lives blocks the Truth from emerging. ~ Tick-Tock...

Hi Gershon; if we seek truth only, all else will be provided...anything one's heart could desire...and not one speck would be mere noisy clutter. Thank you my friend. Joe.
