Aware of What Does Not Disappear Into Thin Air

This morning there was definitely no denying it;

The cocoon of night takes a little longer to release its charge!

This morning is also the final 6:15 a.m. childcare starting time

(for a while at least!)

Because this mom is off on mat-leave 

as they anticipate Baby arriving soon!

So no matter where we are in life

one thing to remember is that everything

 (for better or worse) is but a season!

the flower in full bloom soon sheds its vibrant shades!

Time hoists its elemental plume...

Like a cocoon, dark night enfolds

The wing-span of the sky

Until morning soft sheds its hold

And frees dawn’s butterfly

Time hoists its elemental plume

Upon a transient wick

Where the hour, now in full bloom

Is soon cut to the quick

We should seek to spend carefully

Time's momentous parade

And redeem, ever prayerfully

Each day the Lord has made 

For what appears to disappear

Into vaults of thin air

Is being recorded, my dear

Beyond time's vapour flare

...where we will give detailed account 

For sparks that upward fly

Then, live today as if time's fount

Is about to run dry

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,

 making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.
