Tempus fugit

Tempus fugit, say the sages
Ever true, throughout the ages
Toil we on, sometimes in cages
Book of life inscribed on pages

Dodder on, we who make widgets
Plod along we, earthly midgets
Grab now life lest worn be digits
Ere we’re lost whilst fugit fidgets

Tempus fugit ... it's the human obsession, even though the scientists say "time does not exist"...
Well, I must say I had to check "widget" and "midget", so thank you also for making me familiar with new words in English.

A wonderful reminder to LIVE.

Love,

You kindly folk who come to call
My muse and I give thanks to all
Your lovely praise gives me great grins
And too, I hope, atones for sins.

Best to all,  Ken

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