Time Thought

If I could speak to you
 in the early quiet hours of the day
could you listen
 hear what I say?

If time could standstill
 and be only this here and now
could you look at me in love
 knowing well get thru life somehow?

If the wind could be soft and gentle
 and the sun warming our skin
could I wrap you in my arms
 whispering the love within?

If life teaches lessons
 what is it we have learned
could nothing else matter
 but the love we have, the love we've earned?

If time is all we have in living
 how much does it really matter
could we spend it together giving
 love sharing the quiet of the morning hours.

Hello DM Babbit, a deep poem with a deep meaning. For me the last verse speaks out to me. Enjoy your day my friend.
