Questions In Color

the sky turns pale blue
    above horizon brushed pink
          fallen moments shine
      I am struck by what I think 
   where did the precious time go?

Jim Slaughter Date: 9/6/2022 1:19:00 PM Great piece, Heidi. Why is it, I wonder, that it doesn't seem "precious" at all when you think you have all the time in the world? But, boy!
