Timing is everything and so I’ve been told for my timing is off in matters of the soul for I have lived before and will probably live again so the question then becomes is time of the where or is time of the when? and time....not in a bottle caught but on wisp of wind as its lot oft' found through challenge of rhyme in sweet search oft lost... in matters of time... and what do I do with this moment do I make it live, replete? in circumstance or by chance either way do I make it sweet? or do I add a touch of spice a little salt, or pepper a bit of garlic to the moment to make the taste then linger for a moment can be replete even when it’s not otherwise complete…. timing is everything as necessary as my internal clock to know when to grab and when to hold or simply stand and take stock and then to know when to let go… timing is everything, indeed so now I’ll take the time to simply…. heed. For timing is everything…. it is, indeed…. 01.12.01 |

For timing is everything…. it is, indeed…. ================== OH MAN ... what a cool cool poem Ms K... I am so digging this wisdom kisseed rhyme of time ... excellent turn of phrase and unique twist on the challenge... and that first verse? ... who ever told ya your timing was off ... was a day late and a dollar short.  Where the touch of the lover ends And the soul of the friend begins There's a need to be separate and a need to be one And a struggle neither wins |

'Is time of the where or is time of the when'. Well...I may have to ponder that awhile! Loved it. |

the way that you can turn a phrase just amazes me Sunshine. . . Loved this one. . . ----------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
