What makes you tick
as time does
pick
a moment
  for you to say

~this is it~

this is
what you are
  at least
in this moment

and this moment
is the only one
you are in

so

it’s OK
not to know
  where
you are going
or
what makes you tick

   as time does
not live
   in tomorrow's
moments

I like this side of your writing, Kacy.  Instrospection becomes you.  Well done.  Ken

Through rubble and trouble and dark of night
The yawn of a dawn will hasten the light

This is perfection, Kacy!

There was a famous person (name forgotten,
though temporarily)....whose one wish was
to be able to go forward in time and see
what stood before him...  Time is a most
intriguing subject...and certainly a topic
that draws heads easily...

Enjoyed the feel and read of this...
