time:

it is a sunrise in a time lapse video

happening impossibly fast--

an intrepid passing of moments

escalating with 

butter yellow warmth over my

shin bones and then

an explosion! of life!

roses blooming inhumanly

quick, unfolding like a person

opening his palms to feel

the rain drop or the

tender kiss of the sunshine,

opening in the span

of seconds that are days!

minutes that are weeks!

and months!

a roaring!

a great, hallowed roaring!

onward! onward! onward!

cresting the waves of day

and night and

slamming this ship of

selfness and peopleness--

humanity

across the earth!

continuous!

forever! forever! forever!

it is a great and harrowing

passing of days in 

fast-forward!

like the open and close

of

god's great and blinking

eyes.
