Space Of Time Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Space Of Time



Forever setting new patterns, changing the old, finding
faster, better, quicker ways to get things done, leaving
more time than ever on our hands.

We find more things to do to keep us busy - being busy -
so tied up - looking for ways to cut corners - to make
do - go faster yet again.

Circle of modern life is a vicious one, you take the time
to step out of it's circumference, finding the peace you
need to see that what you've been doing all along doesn't
make sense.

Turning around, walking away, you will be much better off,
life will be quieter, stiller, you'll fulfill your need
for God to come into your life.

You might even see some roses as you walk slowly by,
appreciating the nature of all that is in your space of time.

When I saw your title I clicked immediately. I love works which explore time and space. In Wagner's PARSIFAL the Grail Knight says, HERE SPACE BECOMES TIME. And the American abstract painter Richard Pousette-Dart painted a triangle, square and circle and called the painting, TIME IS THE MIND OF SPACE, SPACE IS THE BODY OF TIME. Your approach to these key words is distinctly moral because you emphasize human action or the lack of it. It is a clear summons for us to fill the space of time with worthy activity so we don't WASTE our time in space.
