Of Trampled Diamonds...


Time is the treasure!
Spend it well

The kiddos LOVE when on a sunny afternoon
 I twirl the disco balls  in the window downstairs.
As dazzle of diamonds dances and disappears
it feels to me a little like the glance of days and years...



Time drains life's treasure/measure from its flask
In sweeping strains of toil and task
It seals in veins of Season Spent
Refrains that none can circumvent

Time takes its charges by surprise
Each day that breaks soon dormant lies
To wake in Them/us a noble grit
To make the loving most of it

Time traipses through stitched capes of skin
In stern goulashes, whisper-thin
Momentous splashes skim the air
With liquid diamonds none can snare

An orchestra of hands and feet
Of eyes and lips and sighs compete
While wonder duels with dismay
And hunger fuels workaday

Time composes, where moments brim
A rose and thorn anointed hymn
And stuns arms with the sacred grace
Of loved ones to fill their embrace

It humbles grumbles as it grants
Life’s rough-and-tumble song-and-dance
From shale of joy and dust of dreams
A trail of trampled diamonds gleams

Psalm 90:12
Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

Eph.5:15
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise,

An orchestra of hands and feet
Of eyes and lips and sighs compete...
