Taskmaster Time
The passage of time
travels perpetual roads,
where it leads is a secret.
Only time can know,
non-compromising time is;
busy gypsy traveler.
Such are the planets,
celestial travelers on
a quest of enduring motion.
Bodies whirling ‘round,
stock-piling secrets behind
cosmic lock and key cases.
Unlimited time
limits our lives, too shortly;
unkind taskmaster, is time.
Take advantage of
what meager time you receive,
live intimately, with grace.

Time the Toughest Taskmaster of All

Time to help but not to yelp,
Time to Listen but not to stiffen.
Time to read but not bleed,
Time to

Lord please for give me
Forgive me of my sins
I'll set them free
Set em' free Lord
I have sinned against those people
Whom I've judged and called lesser than I
I pray unto my God forgive me
Entreat me, forgive me for killing and mistreating your people
Forgive me God of

Taskmaster Time
The rosy sun has gone to bed
leaving me awake and all alone
upon this mountain where I sit staring
at the twilight sky yawning to stars,
pricking at the sky’s deep purple canopy.
Give me longer arms to grasp time’s
swift hands slowing his perpetual clocking rounds . . .
somewhere weary hearts must find such space;
the rosy sun has
