Time Today

Time Today
	
Time 
does not behave 
as expected in this place 
I find myself. 
The very thought of a clock
on the wall is somehow... 
profane against the moment. 
Things have slowed down, 
and speeded up, 
in my mind. 
My heart feels it... 
My soul knows it... 

Time 
is not lost, but found here. 
It is not made waste, 
but used like gold to fashion 
rings for a King, 
held in place by miracles
unseen... 
except and yet...
like only light beams
in the clouds 
after storms. 

Time lets rainbows be... 
for us to see, 
and let go. 
You know. 
Even if you don't want to
there are no exceptions
to the rule, 
of the hour, 
the minute 
the second... 
the last breath.
