I feel that time is creeping like a vine,
upon the trellis of another day.
Creeping, Crawling, Leaping;
A trumpet honeysuckle climbing,
inviting hummingbirds and butterflies,
to indulge beauty of another day.
a red flowering climbing vine
Creeping, Crawling, Leaping;
as time quietly slips away.
While perching songbirds serenade
ruby-throated hummingbirds toast the day.
sweetly sipping fruit nectar from a vine;
Creeping, Crawling, Leaping;
sharing the sweet taste of red trumpet wine.

Time does have that creeping, crawling and leaping feeling, until one day you wake up and have to hold onto yourself as time turns into a fast-moving tornado and it's all you can do to hang on as it hurtles through the time barrier of your life. Enjoyed this one very much, Victoria.

You tinkered with a good poem, Victoria, and made it better, we all should be able to tinker as well at you . . .

I love that this "creeping, crawling" did not feel creepy-crawly, but rather quite delightful imaging dressed this prelude to spring and discussion of how our days progress. It had instantly placed me back at my mother's side while time was stealing her away and my daughter's ability to arrive before she passed through the veil. On the one hand, I wanted time to move rapidly where my daughter's travel was concerned and slowly where my mother's life was concerned. The latter was unstoppable.

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

I know what you mean. My mother is still with me but I don't know for how much longer. Everytime I see babies on tv I think back to when my two were babies. Even my grandchildren arent babies anymore. I miss babies...of course I only miss them when I see them on tv. ha..

Thanks so much fo this delightful poem!
Of course, I'm a sucker for any poem with trumpet vine in it: it doesn't happen that often.
Trumpet vine is beautiful and harty as well.
