What Time Is It?


Lengthening days,
Shortening nights,
Shadows ever changing
And I don't know
What time it is any more.
I used to know
By the setting of the sun
Supper
But now
We are late to eat
And late to rise.
I know I get better at it again,
But when
Is that?

    You have noticed something that I have been feeling and captured it in words.

    I always think of the song by Chicago, "does anyone really know what time it is?"

      Dealing with the discombobulating daylight is better than not having those extra hours of sunlight!

    I know, you've said it just right. I keep eating at about 7 o'clock, sun going down. It is strange to get up in the dark too.

      I must say though that it is easier to lose that hour when you are retired!
