Just Kidding

Sol got up late this morning
‘cuz we’re saving daylight...
moving it to the other end
robbing the nighttime
of its early retire

I like it that way,though,
does that make me a thief
at heart?

I hope not...
after all,
aren’t we just borrowing it
we give it back
to the night
in the fall

We just take it
for awhile,
that’s all.

We try to treat it well,
letting sun cast its spell
and its rays
our way
for just a little bit more of day.

It’s an attempt
at early rising
in a way
we don’t have to depend
on will

a way to fool ourselves
into thinking
we arise at the same hour
watch the morning flower
and reserve more time to play
at the end of day

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Being on time is important-- even when it changes.

This is great fun.  It amazes me the things that inspire and their fruition.  It inspires me to look more carefully at each little thing and what it could mean and what could be done with it.

Cool write Virginia....
I could stay on Daylight Savings Time year round.
Hugs~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...

What a fun write!  As an Arizona native the whole daylight savings thing is fairly new...this is my 3rd year and I still refer to the time changes by saying phrases such as "It's 3 right now, but in REAL LIFE it's still only 2", but I guess I'm adjusting because I can't seem to remember which time of year is "Real Life" anymore!

Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind...
