Man made instruments In man made increments Measure the intangible here to there Succeeding seconds In solid sixty segments Ticking Talking in silence Toward the eternal void of time Where each black line barricade Registers a binding bar-code Announcing arrivals Effecting causes And demanding departures Day in Day out So setting the pace In a three hundred sixty degree race With no ribbon to cross We run against three hands For seconds to place Throughout the years Seldom coming in first But no stranger to last Toward the terminus Of tried and tired Where so many moments slip past There we finally rest And staring on the sidelines of youth Seeing for the first That which was always there Space Between the seconds Where a hand slips through With silent appeal To tell you Your time is due Live life beyond the bars |

We run against three hands For seconds to place Throughout the years Seldom coming in first But no stranger to last Toward the terminus Of tried and tired Where so many moments slip past You know what, Sir Andrew? *G* Voting for such excellence is easy... but reading words like this sure makes me miss the days when you posted frequently. *S* Moments are slipping, yanno... please indulge us more often. *S* |

Nicely written with well-paced wisdom. I agree totally with your message, Andrew. We do seem to agonize too much, don't we? [This message has been edited by LngJhnAg (03-30-2003 05:30 PM).] |
