    time always

    still frame
    hesitate

    folded paper
    burns

    in flame
    waiting

    wasting away
    time

    takes its
    time.


    always.

    the tempo of the poem seems to be ticking away like the clocks we make, ticking at this arbitrary incriment we have assigned. i think thats why the flame and paper part is arbitrary, like you couldve put anything there? it was wasting away? forgive my ignorance, if you intended more with the burning paper. please enlighten me, if so :)

    stop the film, close the book, live your life, wait to die, take your time, always.

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
