Archive of poetry by Anne KellyFragmentsWe have no time for each other. Busy, purposeful people With critical projects. We have families And responsibilities Urgent activities And we even admit that We have no time for each other. We have no time for each other. Every minute of every day Is eaten up With busy lives. How could we possibly Be expected to have time For one extra Person or problem? We have no time for each other. Of course we rehearse How very busy and full Our lives are. And how many problems And responsibilities Pains and anxieties We all carry. We have no time for each other. Not so long ago We used time and nature Interchangeably People were said To have nature For each other Time, nature, love. Sometimes we Have great time for each other. Our faces light up Our eyes shine At the very sight of another Or at the sound of a voice On the telephone And we have great time And nature for each other. However much it hurts And it does Sometimes we simply Have no time, no nature, no love For each other. Our lives become lonely fragments In a whirlwind of activity And pain. by Anne Kelly Archive index | Next poem » |
