Notes About The Poem

                                            

Time Is of the Essence -Tanka

Time is of the Essence
Unlock the Dreams


time brings the unknown

pendulum swings keeping time

star twinkles goodbye

sun still shines the heart still beats

walk forward and claim your dreams  



12/9/2015

Don’t look back and grieve over the past. Time is of the essence.  Tomorrow is not promised
