price of hours

A Poem by Ed Hart



with nothing


but the push of life


that first breath


parts the waves



an elemental gasp


falls into the all


of every opening



until forgotten things


remember


in the guts and gears


of lapping time


                      and releases


the slow return

smiles and tears
hopes and fears
fronts and rears
Little chance of you ever being short changed; not with such an elemental gasp and grasp on life.

You make the complicated simple with consummate ease.

~ thoughts of birth and death are always the most intriguing and the most insightful ones... ~ for me, this brilliant piece reveals how challenging it is to know when to live something and when to let go of something... ~ and yet... even challenges turn into a natural rhythm... almost like inhaling and exhaling...
