Time Won ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry14 Comments

Hello Everyone! I haven’t had the time to post over the past few days or to engage with your posts as I’d like to. I had a lot to say but not a lot of time to spare to say it, so bringing back this piece to quickly say: “Time Won” yet AGAIN!

What a week! What a work week

There was no time for the solace I seek
Not even a wee bit of time with friends to speak

Deadlines on deadlines piled up to a peak
Each day the prospects of blogging grew bleak

It’s like time was playing hide and go sneak
I lost every round, it was on a winning streak

Crept up from behind, smacked me dead on the cheek

I won! I won! Like time did speak

You’re the loser again this week

Hurt In Waiting ©Dawn Minott

On By Dawn MinottIn Poetry30 Comments

Dear Time,

You that bridge the continuity of events and existence sequencing

Did you see this tragedy forming?

Bit by bit in irreversible succession compounding?

Sorrow on sorrow unfolding?

From one moment to moment you’re connecting

Yet past from present from future you’re disconnecting

As you tick-tock …

Tick-tock …

Tick-tock your way across the continuum of life moving

Stealthily, sequentially maneuvering

At the end you are, you’re also at the beginning

You’re not impacted by despair and hopelessness from hurting

Yet they say powers you have for healing

C’mon, then, kindly hurry your coming

This hurt can wait no longer for your restoring

Yours impatiently,
Hurt-in-waiting
