The
purpose of time is to prevent everything
from
happening at once----X.J. Kennedy
Consider
the fact
that
time is invisible
the
color of glass of air
as
if it isn’t there
until
the past
catches
up with the future
and
the two overlap forever
because
light can’t shine
through
the darkness
anymore
the
day we blend
into
its mystery forever
reminds
me
how
important it is
to
wake up alive
(such
a precious word)
and
play catch
with
the rest of the day
as
if it were a game
we
weave into love-knots
two
hearts
two
blades of grass
or
bounce off a wall
like
a ball
on
warm summer afternoons
ablaze
with vistas laced in gold
but
if it gets too hot
hurl
what’s left of it
and
bring down some shade
O
surprising life
fed
and watered
with
our quiet laughter
pain
and sorrow
and
let that always
be
enough for us
