Waiting... With time's metronome.

-
Tick, tock, tick, tocks the clock upon the wall,
Sending a quiet reminder out to one and all,
Whether it be flying on by, right away from you,
Or crawling along slowly till it finally strikes two,
That time is still continuing, even if it seems so still,
And how you use that time is what can really kill.

Perhaps you're a child sitting patiently in a class,
Just waiting anxiously for the rest of the time to pass,
Someone waiting in a long line at a rather busy store,
After shopping around for their purchases galore,
A fisherman waiting on his biggest catch to bite,
Or maybe you're waiting for next Saturday night.

The nervous groom awaiting his beautiful bride,
An equestrian waiting for their next big ride,
A pregnant mother awaiting her unborn child,
Whose fears and anxiety go from severe to mild,
To think at some point down the future track,
She will be waiting for her 'help' to come on back.

We seem to spend a lot of time just waiting,
It seems to be necessary to our patience creating,
Helping prepare us for life's many test after test,
Giving us time to contemplate, learn and rest,
Providing we use our time waiting with care,
We may productively become further than there.

For in our lives so short, we have little precious time,
That wasting any seems our greatest personal crime,
Yet we spend so much rushing to get so little done,
The next thing we may know it is almost all gone,
And we then say it's all flown past so very quick,
But still the clock goes the same tick, tock, tick!

Time

-
Time is such a funny thing, It goes by ever too fast, One moment you have all day, And then it’s all gone into the past. Time can get you into trouble, When there is just not enough, Thus it pays to plan ahead, So it doesn’t become too tough. Time can also seem to stand still, Taking seemingly so long, An illusion of a your mind, Bit like a slow classical song. So when for you time is slowly, Waltzing you through your day, Think of those for whom it’s flying, And enjoy your worries away.

‘Tis the Festive Season!

-
Pudding, turkey, ham and pie, ’tis the festive season that is nigh, Tinsel, garland and candy canes, Join light strings in window panes, Shopping centres hum with sound, As great gifts are trying to be found. Santa Clauses in displays are placed, As a glittering festive atmosphere is faced, Catchy music now constantly playing, Whilst family and friends all come staying, Christmas trees are up and decorated, For some, hiding may be contemplated. As Christmas magic fills the air, It’s sprit creeping in most everywhere, Songs, laughter, smiling children’s faces, Mistletoe hung around near fireplaces, Festive decorations are near and far, There’s even reindeer antlers on the car. Holiday festivities fast on the rise, makes some give stressed or joyous cries, Feasts, games, decor and gifts, Siblings caught up in holiday tifts, Summer sun or white winter snow, Festive parties and barbecues are go, Outdoor activities are all a rage,

Life

-
Like a cherry blossom floating in the breeze, Rainbows over the land with their unique way to please. A mother with her newborn blossoming like a rose, Children with ice-cream, Snowflakes on your nose. Like a wolf howling on a mountain peak, Jet black panther smooth and sleek. Crisp winter winds blowing through the sky, Whilst majestic eagles soar way up high. A soft wind blowing through long hair, Natures beauty is everywhere. Like the Brumbies galloping lightning fast, The world is changing, life may not last. Like the young girl so sweet and pure, One day she’s drunk, the next even bluer. Like the little child with dreams everlasting, Mind full of hope with a fairy tale casting. Life is just life and at times really hard, The mind can be dangerous. Those close can be scarred.
