Peter S. Quinn
Take The Time
Take the time with me,
To come here and talk;
The words are written free,
To ignite images firelock.
Now meet me half the way,
And take with me my load;
The spotlight is the day,
When we walk the same road.
Freedom is much lighter,
When somebody is to share;
And be beside you a fighter,
Be glad to have you here.
Stars are for our wishing,
Whatever comes from dreams;
Go on and further accomplishing,
What from your river streams.
Take time and be a rock,
That spring water will hold;
Some are only in sleepwalk,
The dusk of winter's cold.
Give fervor to your shines,
There is nothing like this;
For apprehending the lines,
That you write down or wish.
