tick, tick, tick
















7:36 and the clock ticks on

i am given this day
to do with
what i will

late autumn air
beckons
the dog, ready to run,
people to visit
life passing on

as i contemplate the choices

a man speeds by
in a pickup truck
stirring up dust
and gravel

tick

oh Father above,
have mercy on your children

he who ponders
and he who
hastens hurriedly



* "Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have and only you can determine how it will be spent.  Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.    ~Carl Sandburg
