They say time will tell But what will it say? At the turning of tides The end of the day When passions have cooled The mists have all lifted Practice made perfect Sands all now shifted
Will it speak of the weaver? The warp and the weft The time that we spent The time we have left The moving of shadows The hour on the dial Of hunger and feeding Of once in a while
This and the next two poems are ruminations on the idea of time and how it rules our lives!
