​​Judy ​ Thomas

Time flows to a different rhythm in my mind and in my bones.

 

In my heart, thunder

                                  Whimper run

                                                         

From day to night. Tonight. To dawn to darkling

                                                                                   and home again    

       only it's no longer

                                        there.

 

That is what time is

 

                                  fishing unseen boundaries

                                  unknowable crevises for meaning.

                                  "Fishing for Light"*

 

Time creeps   Time heals   Time is an illusion

                                                                                      Yet the decay is evident.

Smiles leave traces

                  Dances linger in the bones  

 

To cherish     To remember       To carry 

To succumb to the popular notion that this is a race.

 

U won't win if you run too fast, U can't lose if you notice

 

                                                                                      If you immerse ... 

                                                                                                       Swimming in the Light.
