This Precious Time

This precious time

This passing time

This joyful time

This desperate time

This crucial, lonely, hopeful, helpless, impossible, precious time

We play it, mislay it, we bend it, upend it.

We try to taste it, don’t waste it but savour it.

Till we’re battered and trodden, stained and sodden,

Both ancient and modern

This precious time

Where paid work and art-work and work-outs are patch-worked

With many dropped stitches and last-minute switches

Till we’re frayed at the edges and clinging on ledges and backwards through hedges.

This precious time

It trickles through fingers like dry sand and lingers

We try to hold it, to mould it, to shape it

With multi-task fumbles and furious mumbles,

Always it crumbles

This precious time

This passing time

This joyful time

This desperate time

This crucial, lonely, hopeful, helpless, impossible, precious time

 

Don’t wish it away, push on through

Don’t wish it away, push on through

Hold on, slow down

Take a breath, look around

A stitch in time saves nine

Hold your horses, take your time

Treasure the moment, pleasure in torment

Killing time, everything’s fine

Don’t wish it away, push on through

Don’t wish it away, push on through

This time has passed.
