There Will Never Be Enough Time There will never be enough time to hear unique music of nature's songs in its birds, its insects, in songs of the wind, or the sounds of the sea. Or how earth breathes and is alive through its caves and caverns, through its crystal rocks in bell tones that ring soothing sounds for the soul. There will never be enough time to visit all the wondrous places this glorious earth has to offer. Nor enough time to read all the talented poetry our new technology provides us with online and in favorite poetry books of masters long dead. Poems that so inspire and leave hearts on fire. There will never be enough time to view all the sights in glorious colors of sunrises and sunsets, of twilight's shadows and intricate silhouettes. Nor the light on the mountains in verdant display as mist weaves its magic o'er splendorous pines. Sights that inspire thrill and enthrall so profoundly with the beauty of it all, as each day's a divine gift. There will never be enough time to breathe in life's blissful perfume in scents of many flowers in bloom, in lilac's, gardenia's and the magnolia's sweet scents, or in petrichor's heavenly aroma from rain's dalliance. In scents from the seaside or the mountain's fresh air, in Mother Nature's great gifts of her fragrance so fair. There will never be enough time to behold your love in the grace of God's minion in spiritual connection. That feeling of oneness, that special spark from all life as it spreads contentment and warmth over body's decay in knowledge we will all realize birth once again; that all feelings matter in our Karmically created laws. Yet, there IS enough time to give thanks and rejoice for every life is precious no matter of life's circumstances. 3-3-19 *Dedicated To Robert Lindley whose poetry inspired this poem.

The clock is ticking! Entropy... the dreaded end and beginning for everything. A strict law of nature. So we do what we can will here. I appreciate the artistry of a good long, well worked poem!

Connie, too bad for poets who can't appreciate long poems. They are harder to pen, take more time on the poets part. Part of this reticence to longer poems is the goofy times we live in. I do mean the Internet, texting, symbols. Why did we ever go to school? Imagine. Shakespeare in 10words or less. Finally, glad you dedicated this to Robert Lindley. Bright, fluent, loving,,an endless List...Blessings, Connie Panagiota
