'Time'

'Time'

I am touching time

with my fingertips

as moments fall like

seedling pearls

along my hand

and towards my feet

'fore circling out 

unto their journey

into space

A few bounce happily

into my heart.

I want to capture every one

But they hurry by 

as if to say

Wait until you 

see what follows.

Each one is shaped by God

and perceived by 

how we choose

to view His gifts.

For He  alone has 

the ultimate plan.

Savor each pearl

 and do with it

What you will...

for you are the guardian 

of your garden.

Fill it with flowers 

of every shape and hue

while learning  lessons

 that  weeds may 

 also share with you.
