Time

by Dennis Pickring - Sagittarius

© 9/30/2001 Dennis L. Pickering

“Time” is but the gap between.
Cause and Effect, you think mean.
It always runs in your head.
Sometimes keeps you in your bed.

Where you should not keep yourself.
According to what you’re told
By those others in your realm
Who attempt to overwhelm.

“Time” is only a bubble.
For you to keep from rubble
Where you don’t want it to be
As though it were the lone tree.

“Times” bubble’s ever growing
And it keeps you from knowing
Progress you can be showing
To your high-self, all knowing

And for you to share as a candle will
The light “Time” releases into the quill
That you’ve decided to reside upon
Until the earliest moment of dawn

“Time” will relinquish not much.
To anyone in “Times” hutch
Because “Time” is in command
“Time” will obtain its demand.

“Time” only exists within
This physical world you’re in
“Time’s” not in the spiritual
Worlds most want to realize.

“Time” is always such a trip
And “Time” keeps you in its grip
Although you may think you’re hip
“Time” cares not, thinks you’re a dip.

END
