Time Flies



Times flies…
On wings and breath and wind
            It lifts and for a time we soar

Time flies…
as we stand mute
hoping it will linger
on exquisite moments of intimacy
as we sniff a baby’s head
embrace a friend
create
a poem, a picture, a sensuous dish.

Time flies…
 Like a humming bird,
a bee
collecting experiences like sweet nectar
only to stall and dive
piercing the depths of our liquid emotions
searching for absolution from
pain, frustration, disappointment, sorrow.

Time flies…
Clipping the very wings with which we soared.
Future, past
Past, future
a beating pulse
 a metronome of
wings to keep us aloft
The present being only the half beat in between.

Time flies...
 in one direction
we cannot
stop it, slow it
or turn it back.
We can only ride its currents.
