Time Is Waiting

Where is the wildflower,
where does it wander
in the time of nearly Spring,
does it dream of the sun?

Time is such a tiny word
for that which keeps us interred
in waiting for the perennial 
paradise of the soul.

Dear chetta, something about the way you weave words is truly evocative and soul stirring! I felt the depth of your lines so well delivered here with exquisite imagery too. Your verse, although short is moving and meaningful: I especially loved “ where does it wander in the time of nearly Spring, does it dream of the sun?” I love always a poem with questions, and the ending too is beautiful! A fav it is. Congratulations on your win: thank you for sharing

Dear Chetta, Your poem echoes the quiet longing for the arrival of Spring and the blossoming of life. Your words evoke a sense of anticipation, capturing the essence of nature's anticipation for the sun's warm embrace. The juxtaposition of time as a "tiny word" against its profound impact on our existence is thought-provoking: an intricate role in our lives and the perennial search for inner fulfillment. After reading I want to reflect on the cyclical nature of time and the eternal yearning for spiritual nourishment. - Blessings, Daniel

Our life is framed by time, beginning and then ending ~ surely there is more? Thank you for your thoughtful critique.
