Art: Evidence of Time by Brad Kim
speak to us of time...
....write it, capture it, set it free, pour it out
Come out of the circle of time
and into the circle of love.
[Rumi]
I give you the images I know.
Lie still with me and watch.
We laugh and we touch.
I promise you love.
Rules:
- Free verse only
- 75 to 90 words max.
- Left align & plain background
- Apply poetic device
- Tight, metaphorical pieces have a better chance of winning
Please welcome the lovely NurseChilly as my co-judge.
Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
[H. Jackson Brown, Jr.]
…then I headed back for home
and somewhere far away
a lonely bell was ringing
and it echoed thru the canyon like
the disappearing dreams of yesterday
….cause there’s something in a sunday
that makes a body feel alone
...and it took me back to something
that I'd lost somehow
somewhere along the way
[from Sunday Morning Coming Down
by Kris Kristofferson]
Count them by sensation,
and not by calendars,
and each moment is a day.
