Time, According To Me

I think time far more than seconds and hours we agree more than mere ticks and mechanic like tocks -- more than the folding/unfolding our precious seasons rhythmic dark and light of a planet's fickle-turning -- Time is opportunity to wise and share to heal hearts then and those newly broken -- Time, at its best, should be written, read and lyrically spoken -- Time, divinely expressed~ is poetry --

I see you were inspired to put this down Joe Dimino.' Which is its biggest expressive to me ( to write) is to move a pen? Or cursor? A stick In the sand.' Yet to quantify the emotions? And Release them is deeply on another plane.? So Dear Lord ( thank you.!) For Joe Diminos awareness and open-ness may you continue to Work in his spirit in this great way amen.'

Hi Joe; I tell all my offspring, young ones on the block (I probably never shut up, telling to much) to be honest with yourself. And if you can't be honest with yourself...then you are probably thinking something wrong. Anything one writes or says, should be open to the world. If it is said in an email, or on the telephone, one should not be ashamed to shout it from the roof-tops. Of course, one should not say what brings unnecessary pain or embarrassment to others. Thank you my friend. Your works are a great inspiration for me. I always walk away richer, more knowledgeable, after reading your informative spiritual writings.

Well, for folks like us -- though you are a lot better writer than I -- poetry is very near to life itself. Blessings my friend.

Of all forms of writing, poetry is nearest the heart, our soul and spirit. Can be just as informative as Prose. Thank you, Tom.
