Every day I wake up knowing that I owe "time" a debt of gratitude.
Every night I close my eyes knowing that time will do its best to make a lonely 8 hours pass as if though it were merely 8 minutes.
This is how I know that I am just as important to Time, as Time is to me.
I am the story that Time reads when it needs the inspiration to keep on ticking.
Moments are given to me as appreciation for that story.
Time is on my side as an avid listener.
A creator of moments and an observer of the actions within them.
I don't spend time, I pay it back for the audience.

Winner's Circle: Prompted #3
INTRODUCTION Prompted: #3 is over and done with. There were a total of 7 entries for this challenge, just like with Prompted #2. That was a bit surprising, considering this was a poetry challenge. The first poetry challenge garnered much more attention. Of course, one way to look at the drop in participation is that Vocal writers are not fans of the rondel.
