we have our preference
    we see with our eyes
    those things we take to heart
    until we see what lies
time is always needed
time sees everything
    those things we take to heart
    and those in time we string
        ... what faith will prove
            for rest to see
            that seconds move
            maybe you to me

we have our preference
    the things we take first
    but for those who can wait
    seconds might quench the thirst
time may be deleted
untied by its string
    if what we take to heart
    seconds were everything
        ... what faith will prove
            for some to see
            that seconds move
            such as you and me

In rhythms to a rise the days shall follow ... each Yesterday, each Tomorrow.   -  Ct/05

You inspire,
I hope I can do this verse justice, for you put to words what has been coursing through my mind lately.
Very well done.  Happy Easter Weekend!

this speaks of that feeling
of urgency
those seconds that
we clamor for, for a
glimpse of heaven
