Desperation

Inspiration yields to desperation with each tick of the clock underarms damp as the back of your knees soiling even your frumpy frock... Time is finite, you know it’s true though it seems it’s out to choke just you a thought races past, is it your last ~ an alarm goes off, the die is cast

That is when I take a breath and look up. Is our clock running out or are we just running into eternity with all our prayers carried within.

I know one thing, I am more aware of wasting time -- . Trying now always to get to the point, having little patience for too many, unnecessary words. Time is more than many. Good one friend.

that sense of urgency seems profound as I age. Sometimes, thoughts and inspiration are here in one moment and literally gone when I blink my eyes. What the heck! yellow rose
