Notes About The Poem

- Later On -

Evoke flames of amber and amethyst
                                 may happiness adorn the future
                                  give the minutes a short break
                                 and the mind a couple of hours
                                forget the flight of the hourglass
                                 - have things to complete later
                                a shoreless sea of toil and hustle

Loved these two lines especially: couple of hours forget the flight of the hourglass - have things to complete later! Let go and live for a moment in time. Very well said, Anne-Lise!

You find the most appropriate pictures to accompany your wonderful writes, Anne-Lise. If time could be paused, what power we'd hold, but mortals are lowly creatures.
