Notes About The Poem

There Is No Time

Time, time, it is free for all but is so priceless,
We must let go of the past- live in the present;
The crazy thing is that it does not cost a cent,
Now, right now is the time to go after your dreams.

Many of us stay in jobs that are just mindless,
And in relationships turned poison and shallow;
Time to dust off those dreams and success will follow,
There is no time like the present to dream it seems.

Travel all emerald paths and follow blue streams,
This life is fleeting- eternity infinite . . . ;
Make each new moment beautiful and exquisite,
Just start where you are because if not now, the when?

Live the life you imagined, find your own sweet Zen,
Start here and now before your time runs out. Amen

Recently I saw,
My life was going nowhere,
Working a job below me.
So, I said to me,
Self, no time like the present,
It is your time to just shine!

Timothy Hicks March 27, 2016 at 10:12 PM Good poem, but even greater message within your words. There is no time like the "present" ... it's a gift! No use wasting time in a job you hate, when wings can fly high, so best no procrastinate. Cool blending of forms ... I've never tried a canzone before. Constance La France March 28, 2016 at 9:09 AM Timothy thanks for the lovely comment, the canzone is like a sonnet, Dante used canzone, you can use any rhyme scheme you want... that is the difference and it does not have to be 14 lines, can be 7 if you want...

Walter T. Ashe March 23, 2016 at 10:09 PM I've encountered another new form and it is about "time!" Keep shining Broken Wings because it really "is your time!" This is about "timely enlightenment" "Sweet Zen, Amen!" :-) Constance La France March 24, 2016 at 8:31 AM Walter, thank you for that lovely comment, so appreciated !

Brian Mcclain March 23, 2016 at 9:01 PM Hi Broken Wings, That is so inspiring--and beautifully written.
