Time

Dead ye lie dead ye rot -- human thy lot Dead ye rest dead ye soar -- spirit on a weightless tour as all sought little man will find -- whether earth or sea a puzzle of clouds, highlighted edges joining stars above our distance measures Time, alone, decides if lifeless waste~ or eternally evolving heartfelt treasures...

Though our body may rot, our spirit will soar to eternity where time never counts. That's what I believe. Profound and deep broodings on life. The poem made me think....

I believe as you do -- not blind faith, for God speaks to us directly when we learn how to listen. Thank you, Valsa -- a very inspiring comment.

Time is such an interesting subject. I've been too lazy to write on on the subject, although I take a different path. Your poem is so deep. You did well.

We pray for peace. Thank you, Gershon -- all sides must want it. Tragic what is going on in Ukraine as well. Iran has put a target on their nuclear projects...and rightfully so.

Thank you, Empress; a fun write -- not really morbid...just exploring different dimensions in my own offbeat way. Blessings my friend. Have a beautiful day!

Death is man's lot... difficult to think of the rot but soaring in spirit would definitely be a pleasure. An episode in the life and death... nicely written, Joe.

Hi Lin; good to see you. Soaring it is then...your order is in. What we declare we will have. Blessings my friend.

Love your “dead ye” lines! I could see these being quoted in a movie!

Hi Kim; just a head-full of words against the wall...writers write, whether they have something to say, or regardless:)) Always fun.
