At a moments notice, if not this second
eyelids press shut to reopen, one reckons
one is called,at the snap of a finger
an ominous tick that doesn't linger...


life spans each moment, as one inspires
then accounts settle as the best retires;
a simple gesture or movement in high grasses
translates to unknown measures for the masses,


In this life now and then the next
second pauses describe time's context,
a cause is set to face hardy reactions
minute unit of time know distractions.

Hi Martin

A very thought provoking piece of writing.

Take care.....Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you

I read this
two ways...
but I would not
be surprised
if you knew that
already

Very well done Martin...
I shall keep this to ponder later.

Dancing with you in the summer rain~
