signal and metaphor

we miss the moment and we fail to speak

so time itself slips out of weary hands

not subject now to anyone's commands

 

only an infant stands upon the peak

and gazes out upon the sunlit lands

we miss the moment and we fail to speak

 

the mighty river starts as muddy creek

so we are told but no one understands

that oceans set the limit of the sands

we miss the moment and we fail to speak
