NON STOP.....

If only
I could possess a remote control
to flip through happenstances

as if
my thoughts could direct
the tides retrospectively

What if
I could govern the sands of time
churning for whimsicals

I wonder
if I would be perfidious
to my own being

only to
stifle these moments that count in
grace – every breathing second

ordained to
wait for the pages to unfold themselves
and reveal me in the passing lights of time


For Poetics – Time and Time Again

  1. "wait for the pages to unfold themselves and reveal me in the passing lights of time." I resonate very strongly with that live for that is - exactly - what time does. Well said, Akila!

  7. We do want to control, don't we. Love the idea of pausing on whimsy, but given our history, I hate to think what we could do to mess things up.

  10. govern the sands of time? It is a scary thought to me… but at times I guess we would be tempted if we could!
