we think we live
in an economy of time
but we live
in an economy of moments
odd system
no bartering
no trade
how spent
earning luxury
etching fame
easing pain
embracing others
lifetimes of moments
in short time
squander them
hanging on tomorrows
reliving yesterdays
or relish today
regardless of time
only moments
in the end

wonderfully done. each moment is a trade off of something we could be doing for what we are doing and who we are doing it with. great truth in there.
February 5th, 2010 at 5:08 pm
Always a trade off…so true.

Each hour, 60 golden minutes, each moment a jewel. They are so precious and we squander them like we have an endless supply. Great reminder to be as wise with our time as we try to be with our dollars. Well done. 🙂

You were on the edge of poetic again. When will I see an update on Poetical Ness? 🙂 Happy weekend!

Oh, it reminded me of something I read years ago in a Little House book, something Ma said to Laura but I couldn’t remember it.
Not sure when I’ll have updates there! I’ve been trying to think of things but it’ll probably be a bit. I’ll put my thinking cap on – and thanks for being so supportive. *hugs*

I have no budget for either money or time. I wonder what bargaining I could do with what I do have? 😉

thank you so much for the honor you left in comment form on a poem i had written… kreative posts? 🙂 i have started it but with everything i take time to truly take advantage and answer respectfully… i simply wanted to let you know it meant a lot and came at a time well needed.

Good stuff, Jayme. Love those first lines,
“we think we live

in an economy of moments”
The true words of a poet-philosopher!
