TIMELESS

Timeless

The mantle clock conspires with ticks and tocks,

Resounding themes of rhythms beating

Out upon nerves' synapses

A haunting warrior's claim upon my 

LIFE.

It's then I call upon my heart and mind

"Seek the present moment, yet unspent".

Indulgence of heated warm thoughts bring

But a moment's worth of tick-tocks of

TIME.

Then I think with syncopated measure 

So nerves escape time's four-four banter,

And respond and teach greater wisdom

With much more joy than earned as slave to

RULER TIME.

I now know no such thing as TIme exists,

It but an imaginary scale 

To measure and divide life's sections.

But with what scale or weight to measure

LIFE?

My heart beats, "No" and "No" and "No" and "No

But to tock the ticks and tick the tocks

That divide play from work, work from play,

Nerves left stressed at end of day's endless 

TIME.

Mind and heart and soul scream, "No! No such thing!"

Love circles round and round ne'er stopping,

Symbols small enough to fit my hand

While great enough to tend Seasons of

MY HEART.

My timeless heart and mind now bring alive

Many moments that they steal from Time,

Bring them safely to me yet again,

Their inspiration wakes and warms my

HEART AND MIND.

Thoughts now merely writ on lit, man-made screen

Take wing through cyber space. Fly to him.

Hope arises deep within my breast,

Just one heart beat's space from yesterday's

                DREAM.
