TIME - a poem

What she had failed to learn is to live in the moment
Gail Wolper

Time

Retired, elderly, too much time on your hands
How do you fill it? Some say to me
One has to stay busy and productive
Keep schedules and To Do lists
To keep Dementia and Death away
Run, run, run

I say I work, not employed
No longer selling my skills and my time
Time is my own, work is what I do
Changing from moment to moment

Keeping surroundings to please me
Digging in the earth
Communing with animals
Companions and wild ones
Reading, learning, traveling in cyberspace
To visit my imaginary friends
Meditating, loving books and music
Just sitting doing nothing at all
Work for my psyche
As long as the Angel of Death allows
So much to do, so little time
Wear the moments,
Like a string of pearls
