A Poem by EmpressPoetess


















Living on time,

borrowed, blue
regretting the past
pausing to reflect on it
moving fast forward thru it
to find peace ahead of it

Living out your allotted time
for everyone but you
giving away your gifts

of love, wisdom and reason
that you've accumulated
with the time you've had

But, who's time is it?

yours, that you accepted?
or His, that he has given?
Once it passes, this time
it's gone.....................

What an extraordinary image of our lives.. time counted out as possession or gift... Beautifully confessed and challenging to the heart and mind.
