It’s a question of time that ecology
Will collapse and they’ll tax us to death
I’ll be reading Yi Ching and astrology
Hoping for an alternative breath
And your face will look down on me smiling
From the every page of those texts
And I’ll whisper excuse me my darling
It’s just me who is coming up next
It’s an answer of space that looks obvious
It’s a place where you are not alone
It’s just rain that falls gently on both of us
It’s a ball on the freshly mown lawn.
A Challenge To Be Free Is A Question Of Time
Through the pouring rain we must explain
Brocken glass on the pavement floor
Lest I implore a day before
The twilight sun has tainted my inner vision
I'm just one man set out on a mission
How you fought so very hard & fierce
My one truest love is now gone from here
A challenge to be free is a question of time
My one solution is to be wise & use my mind
Living on the edge and it's going to my head
Sitting up at night all alone in bed
We are all given one chance to take part in the dance
Shelter lies dormant amidst it's beckoning plough
A lone blade of grass out there stirring in the wind
Lines are being formed in the sand to what were sitting in
As a caged mouse is stuck in it's crazy little maze
You wake up late in some purple haze
A heart is an opened book for one to read it
The love that beckons it's grasp in which to receive it
Shake dreams from your hair my pretty child choose the day
A solemn time well spent in which to bow the knee to pray
A challenge to be free is a question of time
That's it for my pen & so is this rhyme.
Who controls Time?
Who knows the hour of our departure?
Are we really in control?
We worry about how this world will end
Or if we’ll die-Does it really matter?
For it is sure our life on earth will end
It could be at anytime
For there is an appointed time for all to die-
It is written -For as in Adam we all shall die-
But in Christ we shall be made alive
If we believe in the resurrection of the SON
He is the New Adam The Eternal Spirit- Through Him
He will bring in the New Race of people and a New World-
Are you united to Christ THE Vine?
For if you are united in Him -It won’t matter when we go-
For if we will believe - we will live eternally in Him
For only Jesus Christ rose and conquered death and time.

Time well spent
Or time thrown away?
That is what I ask
Every single day.
Did we make the right choice
Going to school every day?
Or does it not matter
Are we wasting our time away?
There may come the day
when he open's his eye's,
he'll be crystal clear,
you're no longer by his side.
This will drive him insane,
as it's done for you,
and he'll know there's only
one thing he can do...
On bended knee he'll beg
the return of your love,
for he now knows that together,
you were meant as one from above.
Though it may not flourish
the way you want it seen,
always know deep in your hearts, as best
friends... love.. there'll forever be.
I'm not a specialist in this area. But i do know that if you get to the end of your life and can
count your true friends on one hand... then my friend you are a very lucky human being.
