Hi Carolyn,

You poem is very nice, like all the rest have been. The picture is great and reminds me of our orange colored mine hills in MN. I enjoyed this as always.

This is yet another interesting and beautiful poem that the author has created with this piece of writing. It adds to the series beautifully. These mountains are certainly impressive and give me a sense of eternity as well.

That's a lovely picture. Something I would enjoy seeing in person :) your message reached me today. You got me with the lines, "waste not your time life is too short".

    Mountains are an awesome sight, they can change color and form in a few miles distance. I always take lots of pictures. I am so glad the poem touched you Joy, :-) Carolyn

In Eternity
you can't waste it
you can't save it
and, you can't spend it
Time is not of the essence
Eternity is forever

How true this is and how we may be reminded of it forever by your write. Awesome photo Carolyn.

We were in Colorado about nine years ago for our good friends sons wedding. We did Pikes Peak and later that day a national park (name escapes me, old age) with these beautiful, majestic, mammoth red stones... Incredible sights.

Your poem and photo rekindled those thoughts. Thank you, john

    Might have been Estes Park in the Rockies. Awesome sights. I have a number of pictures from previous business trips, but none digitally saved. (Years ago :-) but each time I see them, I have this 'close to Thee' feeling. So glad you are enjoying this series John, and that several of the poems have brought back fond memories to you. :-)Carolyn

    Thank you misscookie, I am so happy you enjoyed this one. I take pictures from the window as we travel. Sometimes we stop, we both are avid photographers. (Larry is better than me).
    Would you believe I only have 3 more poems to go and the month will be done? Thanks for following the series for National Poetry Month. Love, Carolyn

I love this analogy of your New Mexico landscape, it's very similar to a lot of our Australian scenery. Big areas of our continent look timeless! We have a truly rugged and beautiful land, with climates like California, New Mexico, Hawaii, and like some of your deserts! This is a great write, and I have thoroughly enjoyed your poetic journey this month, Carolyn! Well done , well written, and blessings to you and Larry! Roy.

    Thank you Roy, I have not been to Australia but have seen pictures and movies with scenes such as this. You have validated my hopes that it would be similar to your country. The Lord has an awesome way of bringing us all closer together if we let Him, Love to you and your family (only 3 to go) :-) Carolyn

I like the rhythm and flow of this poem as well as the message about not wasting our time. This is well written a nice style and structure.
My favorite part was the stanza about spent ding our time dwelling on what is right...very well put.

TIME IS LIKE SAND GOING THROUGH THE HOUR GLASS, THESE ARE THE DAYS OF OUR LIVES SOUNDS LIKE THE SOAP OPERA. BUT REALL TIME WELL SPENT HERE ON EARTH YOU WILL AMKE WHAT YOU CAN OF IT AND LEAVE THE REST TO GOD TO SHOW YOU THE WAY TO HEAVENS GATE.
