Time teases today's tableau with a topper of brooding blue...
Time’s tender, slender blip that slips its seasons through our skin
Launches from yonder mothership, dawn’s Beauty of Begin
It shakes out starry tresses, wakening our wonder to
The Faithfulness that blesses us with breath of day brand-new
Time’s wonder-full and sorrow-full and colorful collage
Turns temporary Today into echo-decoupage
The beautiful and terrible inevitably meld
Into mem’ry-mosaics of moments we briefly held
Time’s fragile, agile, potent, voracious velocity
That no one can deny though time itself, no one can see
Is the gifted bestowal from He to Whom we owe all
Though some deny the Existence of The Invisible
Time’s one-and-only, sometimes lonely, lovely thoroughfare
Is quite a holy day and night appointed here to Where
There is no turning back the clock to refill its fair fount
Thus, this should be the impetus to make each moment count
For Time is like a ledge that holds the candle-stick of life
Death is the lurking wedge that wields its mantle, like a knife
And when the flame is snuffed that stands between love and the goal
Time is the ash that rend the sash that unveils God and Soul

Eccles.3:11
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He has also set eternity in the human heart;
yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
