Time Away

I am told that Time
are increments...the
happy man counts 
his by kisses – a family
hour, a dream for the
thrifty~ wise, a short REM 
seeming somehow linked 
to greater eternity – 

I am told that Time 
is precious – or burden
to those without Power,
to those hungry – 
alone as empty and sad

Time with God I've never
found wasted...

Though I've managed
good use of all these

Time away from you
has always been, pure hell....

But time spent with God is surely rewarding. Beautiful thoughts shared and beautiful poen, dear Joe...

Thank you, Valsa; blessings my friend.

But she returns in my poetry. Who knows? Maybe she kept a warm spot in her heart for me. It was complicated, but never bitterness between us.
