All we have is time between birth and death. As I mentioned to Paul, “time is everything yet only truly held one moment at a time, it can be fleeting or like an eternity and each experience is unique.” Do make good use of it.

Present Turning by Laura Denise

footprints in the sand 
headed to the sunset, 
the present turning 
to memories 
with each leisurely step 

time stands still 
yet it doesn’t, 
simultaneously 
moving 
while holding forever 
the moment 

no turning back 
as history proceeds, 
no undoing 
impressions 
once the pressure 
is released 

and the shape 
is ingrained 
indelibly 

though the tide 
may wipe 
the slate clean 

and the imprint 
may no longer 
be seen 

only time 
may be able to change 
the feelings 

what kind 
of trail 
are you leaving? 

footprints in the sand 
headed to the sunset, 
the present turning 
to memories 
with each step 

A Haiku for Time by Paul Vincent Cannon

days within all days  
time quickly passes slowly  
river laps my feet
