Time, According To Me

I think time far more
than seconds and hours
we agree

more than mere ticks and mechanic 
like tocks -- 

more than the folding/unfolding
our precious seasons

rhythmic dark and light of a planet's
fickle-turning -- 

Time is opportunity
to wise and share

to heal hearts then
and those newly broken -- 

Time, at its best, should be written,
read and lyrically spoken -- 

Time, divinely expressed~ is poetry --

I see you were inspired to put this down Joe Dimino.' Which is its biggest expressive to me ( to write) is to move a pen? Or cursor? A stick In the sand.' Yet to quantify the emotions? And Release them is deeply on another plane.? So Dear Lord ( thank you.!) For Joe Diminos awareness and open-ness may you continue to Work in his spirit in this great way amen.'

Hi Joe; I tell all my offspring, young ones on the block (I probably never shut up, telling to much) to be honest with yourself. And if you can't be honest with yourself...then you are probably thinking something wrong. Anything one writes or says, should be open to the world. If it is said in an email, or on the telephone, one should not be ashamed to shout it from the roof-tops. Of course, one should not say what brings unnecessary pain or embarrassment to others. Thank you my friend. Your works are a great inspiration for me. I always walk away richer, more knowledgeable, after reading your informative spiritual writings.

Well, for folks like us -- though you are a lot better writer than I -- poetry is very near to life itself. Blessings my friend.
