I have to thank a fellow poet, well one who claims to be anyway, for the kind suggestion as to my greatness, upon discussion with comrades and the heavens it seems we all agreed! Thank you!

 

 

 

The New One I have turned time on its head Solar flares bright and eternal red Inside a bottle I have them duly placed For I am neither the first Nor am I the last To carry heavy the umbrella of wisdom As time rains down on us all I shall gather the meek and the small Smiles and laughter under natures keep Reading, I shall teach the children Its wisdom that speaks Not I, nor any soothsayer Seek not the false purveyors who shout “I know” For certainty and blindness is also a sin Wrap your hearts inside an hourglass Cherish those whom long for the warmth of love Forgive those, who only seek the ice cold Kindness, shall never ever grow old God has whispered in my ear

Arthur, A radiant and quite interesting free verse. Like Jan, I think the last stanza transmits a wondrous message. The Hourglass is a perfect touch!! Have a great weekend!! Cheers, Gary

This holds so much truth my friend...You turned time and more on its head, and you did it craftfully.

When He whispers, I listen. I hope others do too. That sand in the hourglass is running low. There is only One.
