Time is irrelevant
No meaning cast
Daylight dishonored
By shadows of the past
Seasons slide easily
Through white knuckled fists
Like tiny bright crystals
Too weak to resist
Time is a gift
To be treasured or wasted
Portraits and images
Carefully pasted
Time is mind altered
We stand early or late
Pausing… resuming
But time does not wait
Time is man measured
Designed and driven
Assumed, forsaken
Granted, God given
San Albino Church, Old Mesilla Village, Las Cruces, New Mexico
If all is well
Do we pray?
Praise the spirit
We so openly honor
Find the time
That we have been gifted
To thank, to touch
If all is well
Do we stay?
In the moment
That speaks to us clearly
Hold it close
As the last it may be
For joy, for hope
If all is well
Do we know?
Pain and suffering
Swirling beneath jaded hearts
Eyes of steel
Secretly begging
For comfort, for love
If all is well
Do we bow down?
To our maker
Fathom our fragility
Bold yet brittle
Filter fabrication
Into purity and grace
mishunderstood
