Time Waits Poem by Rick Elpers

Time Waits



The hands on the clock tell me it's 
Time to go, but I know better
For my god is not the clock but 
Time itself
To listen quietly for the prompting 
As a voice or a thought or impulse
Then acting swiftly to insure
The outcome as god sees it 
Even though I know my involvement 
Is but a minor portion of the 
Overall picture, I stand in what
Appears to be the center of it
As this is my illusion, and time
Knows no persons or circumstances
As god does 
So he uses me willfully to execute
His plan, I hold no responsibility 
For faith runs me and god directs
Everything 
Even before time
