Time Never Stops

Time never stops – 
though tempos change: 
a good Hop, or heartfelt
Blues – So, what is the
beat-full news of the day, 
or evening, or time let's
just say, using Expressive 
Rhythm-souffle for Vernacular 
Of Play? – 

Again, Time never stops,
yet often we pause, lift the
needle from its destined groves
to dally or delay, where a piece 
of heart was lost – a living, breathing
treasured moment, crushed or cruelly tossed
away, by unfathomable divine fate, or simply a fellow 
two-legged instrument reprobate – 

Not my intention
to promote guilt, for it is our 
dearly human, procrastinating way – 

Yet Time, with or without us,
moves on...far beyond
        our brief, conscious mortal stay –

Indeed time moves forward…before us and after us. Being alive it is difficult to fathom life without us. Losing Mom has been so personal. Your mind has to deal with difficult things and you are tested in your faith in God. God is good even in this and he shows us that we will survive. God bless you, Joe!

Hi Anselmo; such a topic, I think, one can never run out of time to write about. May take infinite lives though. This present one is getting a bit achy for me. Blessings my friend.
