Of Moments At Large

 It's Wikem day...perhaps the last official one for a while but who doesn't use wikipedia on a regular basis?;-)

'Time has long been a major subject of study'  Wikipedia.  

(anyone who reads this blog knows that I constantly try to capture its fullness, but cannot)

From Kindergarten 

to Grade 8 in a blink... 

Sasha's topic fits in well with the season, but then Time is always in season!

Its longing dismembers our best intention

Its friendships forgive vexing voids that gape

And bleed through our bearing; its intervention

Is sure and pure without substance or shape

Here it is, there it was, here come new pages

We cannot rein in its invisible tide

Poured in moments that meld to the ages

Sealed in thought-cages somewhere deep inside

Darling, the newness of morning amazes

Soon the sun blazes and melts it away

Vortex of triumph and loss interlaces

In faraway places of Yesterday

Once we were new to the way of its graces

Vowing we would not submit to its charge

Like our forefathers, but soon our faces

Wear fool-proof kisses of moments at large
