Time Contraction



I remember the sheer elation,
just like it was yesterday

Forty years tears of joy removed ... 
Thirty months, same feeling safely deposited
Twenty weeks marked a memory pulse acceleration
Ten days of jubilation thoughts from bald to grey, 
felt like five hourglass Palm turns 
on a dawn, Easter Sunday

Zero minute ticks in the mind,
completes the heart contraction of time ... 
I celebrate not a wasted second
