Dandelion

Listen to poem:

In mysterious oddity This precious commodity.. Time. It marches. It whistles it's way down the track. It passes, it flies. We can never go back. We can spend it and share it Or selfishly hoard. It's sand through our fingers.. Like glue when we're bored. Time. It's a God given gift.. At it's best when we share. We can blow it and sow it Like seeds in the air.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

I agree with the comment made previously, I'm baffled you haven't got more comments. I enter the contests for feedback but that's my external validation habit. It's just wonderful you have written so consistently without any seeming need for masses of comments. You write with a content air, which is a pleasure to read. There's definitely a sermon quality too - so your audience is perhaps elsewhere! (Only you wrote the office one...)

So kind of you to encourage me in this way.. it's nice to know people can connect with my own cathartic writing. I keep it simple, no fancy or clever Hiakus yet but.. who knows? People like you really make this a friendly, uplifting place, so thank you for taking the time to comment :-)

Hi Christopher. I really enjoyed this. I'm forever scratching my head as to why some poems get so many views and comments while equally good - and sometimes much better - poems don't. Cheers - Gary
