GIVE TIME
So take your time, enjoy it at your leisure, Relish you hours, yet watch them pass away, Or save time, and relinquish every pleasure In mourning for morning or a day, Or, keep time, and tap out its subtle measure Dancing in rings until steps go astray - But give time, and receive time's finest treasure, Visions of stars ad galaxies at play.
Move through time's inner rooms and corridors, And die imprisoned behind solid walls, Trace each of time's results from its first cause And hear time's hidden echoes and footfalls, Then listen to time clapping its applause And beg for time for extra curtains calls.
-- RICHARD BURNS
