if only i had time

sorrows of the world
or the world of my sorrows
only so much time
..........................
a river of life
unerupted volcanoes
time is the referee

  2. Love the alternative images of the first two lines! Powerful introduction demanding attention! And time being the referee suggests that time may monitor the rules of life but doesn't actually participate in the game!

  3. Time is objective. Sometimes I wonder how time will call the play when the volcano does erupt!

  4. The first 2 lines are compelling.... the volcanoes of the one verses the many. Marvelous.

  5. Time can be a hard referee ... glad I don't live in Washington State. You do so much with so few words, and the last one is by far my favorite.

  11. zg--
    I love living in the land of volcanoes here in the northwest US...precisely for the reason you so beautifully noted--the feeling of time ticking, unerupted!

    Thanks for this beautiful piece--
