When an action or process
Or condition continues
The point when something happens
Like receiving timely news.

Being the proper season
As the time to fall in love,
Or the end of a lifetime
When you go below/above.

You can also make time, too
Or you can waste it away
Where the hands on a clock point
Hours and minutes in a day.

You can be in time or out
Or do time if you do wrong
You can do it to engines --
To put rhythm in a song.

One times one is still alone
And can make times very hard
And you can spend all your life
Punching on a time card.

It can spring forward, fall back
You can march to it and dance
You can change what you have left
If you've the nerve to take the chance.

You can pay a price for it
Or you can get it for free
You can have it on your hands
Too much can drive you crazy.

It's something that is infinite
When it's gone, it's gone forever
You can buy anything on it
A house or refrigerator.

You can have easy ones, too
And you can have lonely ones
Or you can have a good one --
It's seconds or millenniums.

At times, not enough of it
Just enough for a small taste
But it's usually our own fault
It's a shame all that we waste.

Excellent write Del..and your words ring or 'tick' true.
Hugs~Nancy

Now while the leaves still dance on the wind
While the moon and the clouds come spinning
Will you whisper my name again?
Again..and again.
