Time Chips Tokens Lifespan Played Poem by Terence George Craddock

time is sold for a pittance of pay
no words never never written will be read
no wisdom gift given to touch

lighten waking minds;

but rejoice
an ice house
will snug warm

cozy next winter be,

flesh warmed
fire lit
well fed

far souls starved,

no chance
words
well founded

to dwell delight;

but internal poetry
river flows ever grows
in profound paradise

of poetic mind song,

the wind stealing
down storm chimney
plucks away wise

live embryo glowing red spark words,

tides eternal haunt far shores
the sea storm surges
under moon spheres

sweeps away poet songs;

stars black veldt
stud crowd ribbon
milky way burn

to listen listen,

cosmos hears
universes attends
word meteor flight

shifts God smiles,

rains of words
fall fall waterfall
leaping water words

never never ends;

sleep sleep
river words
fill oceans

in a single bound soul,

all contained
in one heart
one mind fills

oceans a world in one mind,

one mind
contains holds
encloses

an entire world's waters;

let it flow
let it flow
flood a globe

all land for ninety days passing;
