Patricia A. Oplinger, member of the Poetry Society of Tennessee and the National Federation of State Poetry Societies, had "Time" selected as National Poetry Month Poem of the Day on April 11, 2012 in Deep South Magazine.
"Time" appears also in In the Playhouse of My Mind Volume I of Circle of Life Trilogy in both hardcover and audio book formats.
TIME
When hours between the two of you
pass too slowly;
when you've lost your tongue
when chores are sought as solice
and you spread the days
too thin
it's time for both
to drive down a country road
pull over,
turn the radio on
and dance in the gravel.
Bodies sway, voices hum;
the rhythmns of life
return as one.
