Showcasing Time...

Over and over we ask this question, without ever really expecting an answer, right?!😅'Where does the time go?!!' already almost mid-September?!How can it be?! Last week my granddaughter, during a tea-break gasped," Grandma!, what happened to the garden?!!""Harvest", I replied. "We brought in all the potatoes and onions!" No matter what we are doing we are planting and/or harvesting!We reap what we sow! The slacker craves yet has nothing, but the soul of the diligent is fully satisfied. *** Today's 'time' was spent at church this morning,prepping food for a funeral tomorrow, then a bit of this and that at home this afternoon,including starting to harvest marigold and lavender for hopefully lots and lots more tea-breaks to come! A splash of summer sunshine in a cup while winter gales howl... I cannot hear or feel or seeWhere you go as you slip through me…each day, a little like a doorTo what has never been before A dissonance of highs and lowsOf gates agape and curtain-closeOf lissome waltz and trip-and-fallOf grinning, groaning beck-and-call Your seasoned tide of seasons, rifeWith encounters that turn to ‘life’Where nothing I can do or sayWill keep you from slipping away Above my head, beneath my feetThrough skin-and-bone-cradled heartbeatInto a place I cannot seeAn intangible gallery ...of moments, melding as they fallTo pictures on a phantom wallShowcasing you, a pantomimeOf once-upon-what-once-was-time © Janet Martin A verse to live by while time allows and the secret to happiness... Prov.16:20He who heeds the word wisely will find good, And whoever trusts in the LORD, happy is he.
