For the contest, J With Four Options by Constance La France

There are edges Time leaves in passing
      Some of them are jagged
 A few edges are grey and badly torn
Sometimes the jagged are also distorted
      and leave one puzzled, confused
 Some edges can cause disquiet
And we begin to wonder where they were
Were they there all along and not noticed 
      Or, were we able to ignore.
Did we simply whisk them from our life  
 Along with Worry, Sadness, Fear
    
But, sometimes, when we look closely,
Grasping Time from its rushing
 We will see colors behind the jags
      lilac, red, green, blue, amber...
 Some colors will simmer and pop
      Some colors will magically glow
 Those colors we would like to keep
      For they are filled with Hope.
