I was way wrong.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I COULD GIVE ALL TO TIME<br /><br />To time it never seems that he is brave<br />To set himself against the peaks of snow<br />To lay them level with the running wave,<br />Nor is he overjoyed when they lie low, <br />But only grave; contemplative and grave. <br /><br />What now is inland shall be ocean isle,<br />The eddies playing around the sunken reef<br />Like the curl at the corner of a smile;<br />And I could share Time's lack of joy or grief.<br />At such a planetary change of style.<br /><br />I could give all to Time -- except<br />What I myself have held. But why declare<br />The things forbidden that while the Customs slept<br />I have crossed to Safety with? For I am There, and what I would not part with I have kept.trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139410627244875589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-71785682879274121722010-09-28T03:47:53.729-04:002010-09-28T03:47:53.729-04:00Of course I will end up eating every smile that I ...Of course I will end up eating every smile that I dispense here.trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139410627244875589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-91783675622586857192010-09-28T03:32:47.500-04:002010-09-28T03:32:47.500-04:00: ): )trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14139410627244875589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-88882352668691695882010-09-28T03:23:03.683-04:002010-09-28T03:23:03.683-04:00"What I would not give to time..."
