Time Vs Time

Time, that old saying, about
a watched kettle and how it
never boils: nothing longer
than Time, if Time alone
is all one has, excluding 
the fillers of Right and Wrong,
Love and Hate – 

I can see why God, owner
of Time, would choose most
anything, not to be alone – 

even chance mankind and man
unkind...

(though immersed with His
failures, in fires He has deemed 
eternal: for one cannot entirely 
alienate himself, from his 
creations)

Countless poems have been
written, exploring the subject
of Time – so many words
anticipating a tea that has
yet to come to steep – for 
the pen, mightier than the
sword as said to be, is yet 
another Watcher
if not lived also at the
cutting edge – 

not simply 
enamored 
of glitter....

Thank you, Pangie: I appreciate your support. As far as the list goes, I honestly don't pay attention to those things -- never even looked at one. So, don't worry. Joe.
