Daylight Savings If I could capture time, I would, Before the dawn ensues, Where I might have a moment more, Held mesmerized by you. I drift in thoughts, enraptured by The silence of the night, While softly there, you hold me close, As passions re-ignite. As time draws on, in rapid flight, I beg this night to last, Held captive by your warm embrace, Aware as seconds pass. I pray the night to linger on, Beyond the realm of norm, To satiate this great desire, My want and need for more. And though the moments pass us by, Before the dawn ascends, A whispered phrase reminds me that Our time is not at end. So hold me close, an hour more, Within this gift of time, And love me once again my dear, Before the clock tower chimes. /Kit McCallum |

Excellent!! But here in Arizona, rebels that we are, we don't change our clocks ever! So I'll have to move to get that extra hour..and of course find someone to spend it with!  |

And though the moments pass us by, Before the dawn ascends, A whispered phrase reminds me that Our time is not at end. even with the extra hour to have a sleep in my body decided to get up so I had to spend it in a weary daze... time travel can be tiring... ok ranting here. Kit beautiful poem I will spend my next extra hour in the way your poem described. "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |

What a fun thought if this were someone's sole purpose in creating it eh? ... and I just thought we saved hydro! ~Brian: Time travel for sure, it does feel a little like that too! I'll be confused for the next week! Thanks Brian! ~Dee: Glad to give you a reason to enjoy Dee, thanks so much! Much appreciation to all, /Kit |

Nicely done. Time always passes on by, but time never passes me by. Glad you caught those precious 60 seconds. Tossing words like wishful coins into the deep well of an open heart. R. fox |
