Time has a habit of flying by. It waits for no man, the saying goes. I guess all of us are waiting for something. So few people live in the present. They are either wrapped up in the past or looking to the future. I like the idea of a sleepless rooster, being an insomniac myself :)

...liking the idea of a sleepless rooster, haha! sometimes you really crack me up! :) ...it's fun being pond-side friends.

[Chris Shaw]

It's a big divide. It's a big pond, but I am waving to you :))

[Dylan Macadham]

...a big pond makes for big waves, and mine are on their way back :))

Your poem makes me wonder if people who live among the throngs do more waiting becuz of all the queues one must deal with?!?!? (((HUGS)))

[Dylan Macadham]

Yes! more people, more waiting!
Reminds me of a teacher in elementary school, who loved to admonish students who wasted the class's time by saying, "You've just wasted 38 minutes, Dylan!" ( 1 minute X 38 students )

This poem is very relatable especially since this time in my life that I'm in my middle age nearing closer towards my 60's. My 50's have felt like a very reflective time. A moment where I am given to look back and come to peace with the choices I have made. Time is starting to have more finality to it now a days. Thank you Dylan for sharing this poem with us.
