"Ordering the lives of / Those who are not in love"


Poem Artwork

On Time

for Franziska

I questioned the clock but
It struck me as it stuck
To its tick-tock story
That it never knew what
It was ticking about

So why should I worry
About what something thought
Which never stops to think
Tick-tocking to the brink?

I went away without
The certainty of time
I know what it will say
Tomorrow as today
A pleasant mocking chime

It cannot stop to ask
But answers on the hour
Relentless in its task
Mechanical with power

Ordering the lives of
Those who are not in love

+Steven Curtis Lance

Steven dear, time stands still for no one. Not one soul can say they ever got a break from a clock, unless it fell to the floor. Good write brother. May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, stubborn to a fault, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your still sad and terrified little sister, Barbie

"If I have to be this girl in me, Then I may as well be."

A whimsical yet all too true look at time and it's affect on love and people in love. It is an amazing thing when you think about it and how it so often rules our entire life.
