Listening to every heart

Time, Lords….on a second’s urge…[no, it couldn’t wait]

One would trust
that our tick, tick, tick
would remain of itself,
quick and slick, but wait
they say,
for just one second…

should we hold our breath?
or make a wish?
seize someone and seal a kiss?
or trust on faith of mustard seeds…
or a hold upon my heart?

For in one thousand years,
[or…eight million, seven hundred
sixty thousand hours….]
or about that, and so, they say,
an hour would so slowly grow
in the whim and roam
of earth’s rotation, simply by
a second’s urge

and they think it important,
to all nations…to hold from whim,
our need to splurge
into the new year…into the new…
into all
like a teacup’s brew…

[Help me, Alice, find the White Rabbit…
someone’s late, for tea]



~*~

One would think
that on a whimsy’s must
would not lead one on
to such a trust
as to adhere to another
than the sound of                    wind…
and yet, they make us think,
for a moment, and yet again…

on a second’s urge…

~*~

so in this encapsulated
tried and tied, trite but true
moment, I
will take an instant captured,
a second’s urge
to sigh…
and hold all that is right
on a second’s splurge,
before I hide my cry…

even before I can wish
on a second’s just held urge…
Happy New Year
to all of Passions,
and I squeak in,
just before the forthcoming
surge….

~*~

I do want to thank all of you
for seeing so many through 2005...
and for giving such hope to
all for the new of 2006.

Always...

Sunshine

Well, I'm kind of speechless here.

This is one hell of a beautiful New Years wish dear friend. One that goes straight to my heart.

Many, many knuffels to you Karilea and a Happy New Year to you too.

You really dipped your pen in sparkling ink

Well done, Sis. One always wonders where the last year went and what the new one will bring us. Life is full of brilliant flashes and Im happy to say one of them is you.

Sunshine,

  Let me take a second's urge to place your poem tenderly on my shelf.  In my mind, this is brilliantly written in thoughts, words, and pause.
