Time Is The Essence...

 Don't you LOVE, love, love what Time does with earth in Autumn?

Throw me a poetry-lure about Time and I'll bite every time;-))

That's the topic at Poetic Bloomings today.

Time is the essence

Of presence and air

Past swells, future lessens

A moment-ous affair

Nobody can still it

Or deter its course

Only One can will it

This breath by breath force

Ephemeral treasure

Appears, disappears

Pain, passion and pleasure

Shaping yester-years

When will it expire?

This temporal lease

Hinged to Something Higher

Someday Time will cease

…ah, then, in Time’s ending

Its crux is revealed

Death’s Awesome Awak’ning

In thin air concealed

Time is of the essence and the essence of Choice.

Who can usurp its immutable voice?

Its glance like a sparkle of sun on the sea

Temporal hinged to eternity
