TEMPUS FUGIT

Conversation for March 21, 2011

TEMPUSFUGIT

.........................................................................

Tempus fugit or so they say

Seasons and years flying away

Hard to keep up.

Three days ago kids played in snow

Crispy days of winter hearts aglow

Cold blue skies above.

Lovely cascading flakes and swirling wind

Watching from my window cozy within

My appreciation rising.

Day before yesterday we started to spy

Green buds and flowers, heard birds cry

From up on high.

Spring with all its beauty increasing

Resplendent growth seems to be unseasing.

My spirits rising.

Yesterday the fields were filled growth

Summer suns and gentle rain both

Gifting plants from the heavens.

Now arrive the rainbow colors of fall

Harvest signaling nature's curtain call

Wind spirals leaves skyward.

Today I relish all the loviness I see

There's beauty in the windblown leaves debris

Autumn's close advancing.

So you can see that time flies

And for us there is no reprise

Season following season

Year following year

As time melts away

New time solidifies and starts to melt again

Trapped in its annual, inevitable chain

It flies leading onward.

Onward taking me closer and closer
To my real home in the wonders of eternity

To my indescribable Father
Who waits for me.
