time says no

by Mary Frances Spencer

whining excuses
procrastination unacceptable
not enough to go
around

too much to do
swamped slammed

all anxieties rising
oceans swell
and sweep
us shifting grains

sands
constantly pull
magnetic
dare us to stick
to
yes

I love you, MFS!!! You have such a way with capturing a vibe. And, yes, getting caught up in the busy-ness is something I relate to these days. B R E A T H E...:-) many hugs to you!!

Oh yes, the wedding month approaches and bills are coming due and Spring still shakes out its winter rug. Then of course words cry to be let go. Nice write lady.

"dare us to stick to yes" - indeed! I like the use of oceans and sands and that magnetic pull.
