~Hands of Time~

If I could stretch
the hands of time
Save sixty a day
~for play~

I’d embrace it
in a heartbeat
Would love
to live that way

Create
momentum
hour by hour
Grip the churning
spinning power

Slow the pace
of life today
patent family
traditions way…

Divulge of olden
ancient times
worship connection
family design…

Ever enemy
in sight
gripping
stripping
~hands of time~

Open arms can be the most fragile in the world...

I know the feeling.  Sometimes to stop the clock is so enticing, and at the same time the next moments pleasure awaits.  Nicely written you.

Time keeps going faster and faster....
I think we really need to have 48 hour days now because we do so much more than we used to do...

I loved your poem, Devina...

I'd take you into my arms
for an endless kiss

Wow, the beauty you portray reflects through your poetry Devina, you are so beautiful.

Staring into the sun just makes you blind to what beauty actually exists in the sky.
