Victims of Chronos

Mount Pleasant, SC

We are so busy

Victims of time

Scheduled time

So much to do

So much to see

To get it all done

To get it all seen

I must stack thing on top of thing

Task on top of task

Hobby on top of hobby

In the hopes of squeezing out a few more drops from the caked-dry sponge of sanguine time

But I’ve never been present

I will

We will

Never have enough

Time

To do it all

To see it all

A blade of sunlight on a hardwood floor

Can cut through my overbusy schedule

And lead me to a sense of quiet

Of peace

A scythe to the balls of culture born from repetitive sky gods

So I sit

And I listen

And I be

And I slip effortlessly into Kairos
