Why? There Should Be No Wasted Moment

All I (we, then- I have no mastery of it)
have is time, really.
Time to walk back from the barn to the pail
for the two nails shy;
a gift for yet more genuflection-
no (no need at all, at all...) expended
to ill harboring on
a less than trivial miscalculation;
accept the gift your soul gave your mind to sail;
a stroll of benign goal
yields far more than two nails.

| Should it only have been, it would be so beautiful. Alas, the the scriptures deny themselves, and Darwin leads the day. |

time itself is a wilted thing really
what with the optical diffraction of the earth's atmosphere
it's hard to see exactly what does lay outwards in space
--- sure, today we have adaptive optics, but that's a completely different topic than the question your poem is asking about.
wasting life a life or all life are two different things
Your life is a miracle
All life is a miracle
The two as we know them are eternal
As seen by the keeping of time through the known calender we keep
Blake the poet wrote a poem about time or rather
comparing time with living, or the living plane which could be called eternity, the place we are born within...
"Auguries of Innocence"
To see the world in a grain of sand
And a heaven in a wild flower
Hold infinity in the palm of your hand
An eternity in an hour
I think the poem speaks today
like it did then in Blake's time
We too often compare means with ends
and often forget how to live or why
I recently visited the Walt Disney Family Museum
He was really an incredible artist, all the time his muse
was liberalism, the family, the why to live,
the reason to celebrate all life.
I love this musing Invierno, it is the reason people like myself enjoy reading poetry. To remember why
Peace!
