Qoheleth Haiku 3:1

 

Suzie Buchholz             

¹For everything there is a season,

and a time for every matter under heaven:

Thanks to Pete Seeger

Many know Qoheleth’s thought

The Byrds Turn Turn Turn

Only a season

Is what God allots to us

To succeed or fail

In a space of time

We have opportunity

As we move thorough space

It is God’s design

For all that he created

Its own time and place

A matter of time

What we do to meet our needs

For it’s about time*

God leaves nothing out

Nothing that fits his design

He gives each its time

Make the most of time

The present is all we have

No future nor past
