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....

"Time with God I've never found wasted...' We can engage in many fruitful pursuits with our time which may or may not bring us rewards. But time spent with God is surely rewarding. Beautiful thoughts shared and beautiful poen, dear Joe...

Surely I was thrown out, for I can't imagine why I would have left heaven to be born...only to go back again...must have be damn good reason I bet. Thank you, Valsa; blessings my friend.

At the time, she was the world to me. With the angels now. One never forgets.... She moved on from me long before her passing. 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.

Lost love is always dreadful. I lost one once. But God had His plans and the one I married was an angel.
