No turning back!
Time is short now,
As days grow longer.
By decree! – (Though,
It’s not the hurrying of clock hands
Or calendar squares crossed off
That makes it so.)
Time is short,
Never enough.
And, time is long.
Time is both –
Time is neither.
Time is,
Our waiting…
Our…
Waiting.
Time.
Time is,
Never what
We
Think.
Time is short,
For a little less snow,
For a little less cold,
For a little less dark,
For something to change.
Time is short now,
As days grow longer.
By earth’s decree:
Rise, you sun!
Sing, you bird!
Show, you green!
